A well-provisioned bulk api has been missing for some time. Thanks
for
working on this. And clearing up the recommended way for WP content
to
appear and be linked in third-party searches and infoboxes is
important

the sort of thing that an internal policy (and way to subscribe to

can help.
I do hope we can host this on WM or openstack infrastructure, and do
it
in
a way that expands and improves the solid existing frameworks for
HTML
dumps :)

It's interesting that of all the strategy recommendations, two are
so
far
being implemented. One is the Universal Code of Conduct, which has
at
least
had plenty of discussion and publicity, that even precedes the
strategy
process. The other is this, which hasn't been particularly
prominent
before, but the WMF seems to have a team working on it just a
couple
of
weeks after the final recommendations were published.
So while doing this is one of the strategy recommendations, it
doesn't
seem
that is is now happening *because of* the strategy
recommendations....

You can find some more discussion at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Rec...
As I mentioned there, the premise of the recommendation is that
the
movement needs new revenue sources; in part because the 2030
strategy
is
ambitious and requires a significant increase in resources, in
part
because
our current lack of diversity (about 40% of the movement's budget
is
from
donations through website banners, and another 40% from past
banners
via
email campaigns and such) is a strategic risk because those
donations
can
be disrupted by various social or technical trends. For example,
large
tech
companies which are the starting point of people's internet
experience
(such as Facebook or Google) clearly have aspirations to become
the
end
point as well - they try to ingest and display to their users
directly
as
much online content as they can. Today, that's not a whole lot of
content
(you might see fragments of Wikipedia infoboxes in Google's
"knowledge
panel", for example, but nothing resembling an encyclopedia
article).
Ten
years from now, that might be different, and so we need to
consider
how
we
would sustain ourselves in such a world - in terms of revenue,
and
also
in
terms of people (how would new editors join the project, if most
people
interacted with our content not via our website, but interfaces
provided
by
big tech companies where there is no edit button?).
The new API project aims to do that, both in the sense of making
it
possible to have more equitable arrangements with bulk reusers of
our
content (who make lots of money with it), and by making it easier
to
reuse
content in ways that align with our movement's values (currently,
if
you
reuse Wikipedia content in your own website or application, and
want
to
provide your users with information about the licensing or
provenance
of
that content, or allow them to contribute, the tools we provide
for
that
are third rate at best). As the recommendation mentions, erecting unintentional barriers to small-scale or non-commercial reusers
was
very
much a concern, and I'm sure much care will be taken during
implementation
to avoid it.
Wrt transparency, I agree this was communicated less clearly than
ideal,
but from the Wikimedia Foundation's point of view, it can be hard
to
know
when to consult the community and to what extent (churning out so
much
information that few volunteers can keep up with it can be a
problem
too;
arguably early phases of the strategy process suffered from it).
This
is
a
problem that has received considerable attention within the WMF
recently
(unrelated to API plans) so there's at the very least an effort
to
make
the
process of sharing plans and gathering feedback more predictable. Also, the pandemic has been a huge disruption for the WMF.
Normally,
by
this point, the community would have been consulted on the draft
annual
plan, which is where new initiatives tend to be announced; but
that
has
been delayed significantly due to so many staff members' lives
being
upheaved. Movement events where such plans are usually discussed
had
to
be
cancelled, and so on.
(Written with my volunteer hat on. I was involved in the strategy
process
and helped write the recommendation snippet Yair quoted upthread;
I'm
not
involved in the API gateway project.) _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe:
