I expect this would be an interesting meeting if people are interested in participating, and I hope that we would brainstorm some ideas about how we want to move forward on all of these questions and others if we have time.
Hi Pine,
I think it would be much more productive to think about these kinds of issues (and indeed those that Jane and Anders have brought up) inside a Wikimedia movement strategic planning process, rather than trying to set up a separate one (even more so, a separate one with an implicit assumption of creating a project fork, which I think is what you're proposing).
I think your suggested solution is actually at a different scale to the problem you're having. I can certainly see there are upset people. But I think the way to move things forward would be to have more conversation about "How quickly do technical developments from WMF need to go?" and "How can we get a smoother relationship between WMF product developers and long-term editors?". I think those are much more sensible conversations to have, rather than either "Should MediaViewer be on or off by default?" (that's been answered) or "How can I replace the Wikimedia Foundation with something I like more?" (which is unlikely to achieve very much).
Regards,
Chris
