As part of the Foundation's Strategic Planning
Initiative, a new wiki (
http://strategy.wikimedia.org
) is being soft-launched today. This soft-launch is being announced
only to foundation-l and a few other places, but is not at all secret
- consider this an open-beta test.
When you have a few moments, your input is greatly desired - please
take time to look at the strategy wiki, to answer the questions there,
and to start to think about what proposals you might have for the
Foundation's five-year strategic plan. The process for submitting
proposals is at
http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/
Call_for_Proposals . You can familiarize yourself with the strategic
planning process overall by reading the links on the Main Page.
This wiki will be fully launched soon, but in the meantime, don't
hesitate to make suggestions to either Eugene or myself.

I recall convincing arguments on this list that meta was the appropriate
place for this, rather than fragmenting into a new wiki. This is because
previously created wikis succumb to wiki rot and eventually link spam. Why
were those arguments rejected?
