Hi all,
the Wikimedia Foundation's 2012-13 Annual Plan has just been published at
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/File:2012-13_Wikimedia_Foundation_Plan_...
accompanied by a Q&A:
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/2012-2013_Annual_Plan_Questions_and_Ans...
The plan was approved by the Board of Trustees at its meeting in Washington, DC, at Wikimania, and previously outlined to the Foundation staff and interested community members at the monthly staff meeting on July 5, 2012. We were planning to publish the video recording of that meeting at this point, but encountered technical difficulties; the video will hopefully become available soon.
Just a small point....
I'm curious how the proposed $255,000 for Wikimania travel for staff, board, advisory board and volunteers compares with what was actually spent this year?
In the 2011-2012 plan, I see that $96,000 was proposed. While the travel costs for SF staff to DC are much less, I find this too low and hard to believe. Some more details and breakdown by scholarships vs. staff/board/advisory board would be nice.
I'm curious if we are planning a higher number of scholarships for volunteers for next year? (as the overall WMF budget increases) and how many staff are we planning to send next year?
Cheers, Katie
