I will just add that I agree [content] Quality is a strategic goal we have
made little systematic progress on (much progress was made in sheer
coverage, of course, e.g. via funding and support for content-centered
initiatives such as writing and photo competitions).
In the Grantmaking department, we are definitely interested in ideas and
proposals to improve (and measure) quality of content on the projects, and
not just of outside assessors, but also internal approaches to assessing
quality (serving different purposes, to be sure).
I encourage those with concrete ideas to propose something, perhaps in the
IdeaLab[1], for further development and refinement.
