Hello,
The strategic planning process, which we chatted about over the
brainstorming session with Jonathan Zittrain last month, is picking up
speed : there are hundreds of proposals in a half-dozen languages at
strategy.wikimedia.org and some good discussions about what overal
priorities are emerging from them.

If you're able to help over the next few months, all of these writers
and brainstormers need support from researchers, writers, translators
and subject experts to identify links between projects, review what's
already out there, and translate and compare proposals across
languages. Please fill out this form to get involved:

And pass this message on! This process is open to all, regardless of
their background or type of interest; while only some people will be
invited to form core working groups for one of the founding task
foces, this is a proper barnraising: all are welcome to form new task
forces or contribute in another fashion. Let me know if you have any
questions.
Warmly,
SJ
