Greetings, everyone!
The WMF Inuka team [1] is exploring having the Wikistories tool [2] on
Commons, so we want to get your feedback.
*Our proposal*
The Inuka team believes the Wikistories tool would significantly increase
our projects' visual form of knowledge if we introduce a Wikistories
workflow in WikiCommons. The above is because the Commons is a repository
of freely licensed media files that is discoverable across other projects
and languages. We have outlined our goals for this initiative on the
project page [3], and we are optimistic about a good outcome. However, the
Wikistories on Commons initiative is still a proposal that will require the
WikiCommons community's feedback/ input on our design explorations before
we commit to the work.
*Our request *
In the next three weeks, the Inuka team would want you as a member of the
Commons community to:
- Read more about the initiative.
- Attend our proposed office hours, where we will present our design
exploration and discuss our plan with this proposal.
- Give feedback on this initiative and share your input about the design
exploration on the talk page [4] we have created.
We have provided three spots for office hours.
- Wednesday, 26th October at 10:00 UTC [5]
- Saturday, 29th October at 15:00 UTC [6]
- Monday 31st October at 06:00 UTC [7]
Please click on the date that works for you and register to attend the
office hour. If you can't attend, that is fine. However, we will appreciate
your feedback about the design exploration [8] and the Wikistories on
Commons proposal on the talk page.
We, the Inuka team, are excited about this work's possibilities, and we
look forward to having you all onboard at every phase.
Thank you!

Hello everyone!
We hope you know that the Leadership Development Working Group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Leadership_Development_W…>
(LDWG)
has been working for the past few months to formulate and find ways to
nurture leadership for our movement. The LDWG is a group of Wikimedia
volunteers representing different communities, languages, roles, and
experiences. We are pleased to report that our draft definition of
leadership
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Leadership_Development_W…>
is
now available for community comment. This first draft was written after
months of discussion, learning, and sharing of perspectives from our
community. The Wikimedia Movement, which is diverse by nature and has
particular characteristics due to its distinctive way of working, has been
expressly considered and included in this definition.
Please consider revising the definition and let us know what you think
by* October
6, 2022*. The draft includes a general definition of leadership and
subcategories detailing the actions, qualities, and results of good
leadership.
There are many places where you can express your ideas, suggestions, and
feedback, such as the Meta talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Leadership_Developm…>
,
the feedback form,
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSchUS1h0ftawc3OPyW5B6ct1Xbo6Pso9nH…>
and
the Movement Strategy Forum
<https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/leadership-development-working-group/…>
post.
You can also email us directly at *leadershipworkinggroup(a)wikimedia.org
<leadershipworkinggroup(a)wikimedia.org>* .
You can check if the general definition and the subcategories fit your idea
of leadership in the movement. You can also try to find information gaps,
maybe some of the qualities of a leader or something else are missing in
this draft definition, or you can check if the definition applies to all
cultural, linguistic, community or other contexts belonging to the movement
and share your ideas with us.
Join us in celebrating the diverse and distinctive leadership of our
movement.
Cordially,
The Leadership Development Task Force
