Hi, a couple of weeks ago, I noticed this interview given by Sue to m/Oppenheim Associates <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gRqtx9-A0c>. At 11:19 <http://youtu.be/4gRqtx9-A0c?t=11m19s> Sue mentions that in the next year (2013/2014), the WMF is going to spend US$55 million. Are there any documents that we as community members could read to see what exactly will this money be spent on? And is mentioning budget plans on YouTube now the preferred way of communication between the WMF and its donors/community members? -- Tomasz

SJ: As we may be very close to having a Board of Trustee approved budget, I suggest we wait until we can release the full Annual Plan document on July 1, so that there is context for the Wikimedia Foundation spending plan for FY 13-14.

It's July 3 (UTC), but don't worry, we can wait a month as usual after a resolution is published to see what it's really about[1]. == References == * [1] <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:2013-2014_Annual_Plan> -- Tomasz

Garfield, This makes sense, since we started discussing the publishing process late in this annual cycle. I agree that we should publish a version of the final Plan as soon as it has been approved. We can do this even if there are minor proofreading or formatting edits being made: publishing the exact version that the Board approved, and updating it if necessary. Next year, I think it would be also useful to publish a one-page summary of the projected plan, after the Board discusses it in April. This would relieve uncertainty and would be in line with the more public plan-drafting that we recommend for chapters. @Itzik and Tomasz: In previous years, final proofreading and formatting has been done after the plan is approved; this has usually taken ~2 weeks after the start of the fiscal year, before the plan is published. I believe the same is happening this year. I hope that we can adopt a more fluid publishing schedule in the coming year. Sam.
