Hi folks,
I wrote here earlier about the process we're imagining for this project; I'm going to take a minute now to write about the substance of the work. This isn't a direct response to any of the comments made here thus far, but I hope it'll indirectly speak to some of the issues you've brought up.
As always, I would love your input. The goal here is to work towards a small number of sharply-focused highest-priority questions, so we can explore each one deeply, and come up with actionable priorities.
Currently, I'm imagining three major Working Groups, each of which will have various Sub-Groups helping them with specific pieces of their scope. The three Working Groups, I am imagining right now, would focus on Reach, Quality and Participation.
Would they have a budget? If not whats the point? Wikipedia is not short of places to have conversations.
What would they spend it on? Talk is cheap, after all! Having conversations is easy, having focused conversations that actually reach useful conclusions is a little harder, but it isn't more expensive.
