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?
