Hi everyone,

In 2019 we published strategy papers for Wikidata and the Wikibase Ecosystem (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Strategy/2019). They have been very helpful for us to clarify where we see Wikidata and the Wikibase Ecosystem going and have conversations about it with editors, other chapters and user groups, outside organisations and within our team.

Two years have passed since then and a lot has happened. Over the past months we have therefore sat down again and taken the time to really consider where we are and where we want to go based on everything we have learned from conversations we have had with many of you, research we have done and how we and the world have changed since the first strategy papers were published. Today we are publishing the result of all of that work and are inviting your feedback.

You can find the new strategies at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LinkedOpenData/Strategy2021 and we would love to hear your feedback and thoughts on the talk page at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:LinkedOpenData/Strategy2021.

Cheers Sam, Lea, Manuel, Lydia for the development team
