Hi!

I'm a Polish Wikipedian currently working for WMF. My task is to ensure that various online communities are aware of the movement-wide strategy discussion[1], and to facilitate and summarize your talk. Now, I’d like to invite you to Cycle 3 of the discussion.

Between March and May, members of many communities shared their opinions on what they want the Wikimedia movement to build or achieve. (The report written after Cycle 1 is available[2], and a similar report after Cycle 2 will be available soon.)

At the same time, designated people did a research outside of our movement. They:
1. talked with more than 150 experts and partners from technology, knowledge, education, media, entrepreneurs, and other sectors,
2. researched potential readers and experts in places where Wikimedia projects are not well known or used,
3. researched by age group in places where Wikimedia projects are well known and used.

Now, the research conclusions are published, and Cycle 3 is beginning[3]. Our task is to discuss the identified challenges and think how we want to change or align to changes happening around us. Each week, a new challenge will be posted. The discussions will take place until the end of July.

All of you are invited! If you want to ask a question, write here. You might also take a look at our FAQ[4].

Thanks!
