The Wikimedia Foundation has begun a year long phase of strategic planning. During this time of planning, members of the community have the opportunity to propose ideas, ask questions, and help to chart the future of the Foundation. In order to create as centralized an area as possible for these discussions, the strategy wiki (http://strategy.wikimedia.org ) has been launched. This wiki will provide an overview of the strategic planning process and ways to get involved, including just a few questions that everyone can answer. All ideas are welcome, and '''everyone''' is invited to participate.
Please take a few moments to check out the strategy wiki. It is being translated into as many languages as possible now; feel free to leave your messages in your native language and we will have them translated (but, in case of any doubt, let us know what language it is, if not english!).
All proposals (see http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_Proposals) for the Wikimedia Foundation may be left in any language as well.
Please, take the time to join in this exciting process. The importance of your participation can not be overstated.

(please cross-post widely and forgive those who do)
This main page of strategy.wikimedia.org is merely a icon-listing of all the projects. There is no obvious link to "drill down" into the strategy wiki itself. No links except to other projects. And the main page can't be edited.

Sorry, but what do you mean by "drill down"? To me, the Main Page seems to give a great deal of links (and explanations of what those pages are). Was there something missing that you noticed?

Apparantly there is still dome dns propagation occuring. What I see at strategy.wikimedia.org is not what I saw when I received the first e-mail. I saw what whjohnson saw - a portal. Now it resolves to the wiki.
Okay makes sense now. Now it redirects me, before it wasn't.

Ah okay. DNS *can* be a nasty bugger sometimes. :-) But still, if you guys find anything that you think *should* be on the Main Page or should be different, the "convenors" have been very attentive and open to comments and suggestions. I'm sure they'd love to hear any of your thoughts. :-)
I think the issue was server based.
It's been hiccuping some today and forwarding us to the wikimediafoundation.org site... I bet he got caught in one of those.

The top level page is a listing of all the other projects, Wikipedia, Wikisource, etc. Strategy not being one of those listed.

wjhonson, it's really not, despite the way it's acting for you. For whatever reason, a small number of people are being forwarded to the wrong site, and the servers are confused. I'm sorry you got caught in it. That link really leads to the main page.

This still makes it sound as though community participation is optional, and is input into some larger non-public process. How about this:
"Planning for the future is determined by your input. Come discuss future directions for the Projects, how the Foundation can facilitate the work of the Projects, and how we should allocate time and resources to best support our mission."

What he said. :)
I'm changing my invite message. Your way is better.
