Indeed, it has been a mistake to keep spinning off new discussion
platforms, in the hope that the next one will be different and controllable
and totally replace everything else. This has been an anti-pattern for a
decade. Far better to make a real investment (including both a social and a
technical investment) in the actual community platforms based on MediaWiki,
where many of the ideas that were developed for Space could be rather more
fruitfully applied, and the existing eforts by good people not be put to
waste.

Last year, the Wikimedia Foundation launched
Wikimedia Space to
experiment
with new ways to connect volunteers, increase
movement participation, and
showcase community stories. While we remain committed to this important
goal, based on lessons learned through the Space prototype, the
Foundation
has decided to close Discuss Space. The Space
blog, which continues to
fill
a need to share news for the movement by the
movement, will continue in a
new home. Please continue to submit community-focused stories [1], so
that
we may share them with the movement.
To learn more about the next steps, check the full announcement at
https://space.wmflabs.org/2020/02/18/next-steps-on-wikimedia-space/
We have learned a lot from this initiative and want to thank all Space
users [2] for their time and contributions. We also invite everyone
interested in documenting lessons learned and discussing next steps to
join
us in taking this effort even further, either at
the About Wikimedia
Space
category in Discuss [3] or the Space talk page in
Meta [4].
