- What is meant by "excellent goals and plans" is open to interpretation
and dependent on context. For example, an "excellent" annual plan for a new user group will look much different than an "excellent" annual plan for WMFR or WMF, and I'm not sure that there is a canonical set of criteria for what constitues an "excellent" plan.
That is true. And different plans will excel in different ways (clarity, focus, effectiveness, leverage, foresight...) It might help to invite people to suggest plans that they have found useful or instructive (in their context), and compare what each gets right.
- Can we have the review of the WMF plan in July that you proposed, plus a
separate community discussion that attempts to help everyone including WMF to come up with a list of suggested attributes for "excellent" annual plans and a list of suggested ways of streamlining planning processes while increasing the quality of plans? This might be a good follow up discussion from WMCON. WMF would be a peer and partner of this process, and I think it would be great if the FDC could lead this discussion.
Since Wikimania is in July this year, perhaps we could do this there: public review & discussion of the WMF plan, and using that as a point of departure to continue the discussion of planning from WMCON.
