Hi all,
*Summary: The report from cycle 1 discussion is online[1]. The start of cycle 2 is delayed until next week.*
Thank you for your contributions! We have been hard at work reading, sorting, and summarizing more than 1,800 community member statements, from more than 100 community discussions from across five continents. Each of these statements was a response to the question: "What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?"
You can find the full report on the major themes, and more details about them, in a summarized report on Meta-Wiki.[1]
Some common themes emerged from these conversations:
* Reliable, neutral, high-quality content * Community health & support * Internal & external collaboration * Improved and new features * Users, editors, & contributors * Outreach, awareness, & promotion * Innovation and adaptation * Funding, staffing, and other organizational needs * Support for emerging communities * Advancing Wikipedia in education * Movement values * Sustainability & growth
Each of these themes is described in more detail within the body of the report,[1] and the full data spreadsheet from this analysis will be posted soon.
The movement strategy team has been working to group these themes together, so that we have a smaller number of concepts to consider in the next cycle. Because this work is important, we want to make sure the grouping and analysis are comprehensive and thoughtful. In order to make sure we can get it right, we’re delaying the start of cycle 2 discussions until next week.
As you probably know, the Turkish authorities blocked Wikipedia in Turkey this week.[2] We’ve been working around the clock to understand the circumstances and respond appropriately, including appealing in Turkish court. We’re grateful to everyone who has reached out to offer us your thoughts and perspective. Government limitations on free knowledge are just one of the critical issues that have come up during the movement strategy process. As we confront these challenges in real time, it has been a reminder for me how important our work is, and how it has very real implications for people around the globe. Again, thank you.

The issues occurring in Turkey highlight that we may also need to keep in mind:
* Access
over the next 15 years. Where access is not only potentially hindered by governments but also technical and monetary realities in various country and region. We of course have already worked and continue to do work in this area with initiatives like Wikipedia Zero and Offline Wikipedia / Kiwix.

Yup. It would be interesting to ponder if wiki app could channel through Tor by default - in the spirit of The Guardian project. Informing users about Tor benefits has obvious disavantages related to the fact that most people will not be able to grasp it.

I agree with James that we need to encourage initiatives like Kiwix Wikipedia Zero. We need to be able to distribute Kiwix in countries that have blocked Wikipedia, because it is no big deal for a government to block the Kiwix.org site as well, and phone operators providing Wikipedia Zero will have to obey government injunctions. Chances are that a block on kiwix.org will hardly be noticed by our community. Looks like the good old sneakernet with USB flash drives is still a viable option...

In these cases the big advantage is the capacity to be cloned. A governement can block an ip or a domain but it would be hard to block internet.
The good approach is to invite the web to host kiwix and zim files for downloading. That would be easier than cloning Wikipedia content.
However that approach will save readers but not writers.

We need to promote Kiwix - definitely, but should we promote Wikipedia zero? May be not, unless the issue of net neutrality is clearly addressed. We need to remember that some countries had to ban different zero services, as they clearly violated net neutrality and people were against them.

Yes, we need to promote Kiwix. We need to ensure that people with no internet access can get Kiwix and that means that we do need to "clone Wikipedia content". It is quite expensive to download Kiwix because of the huge data charge that it implies, and it also takes for ever with a poor connection. We tend to forget that when we live in countries where we have 24H 7/7 unlimited internet...

Hi all,
*Summary: The report from cycle 1 discussion is online[1]. The
start
of
cycle 2 is delayed until next week.*
Thank you for your contributions! We have been hard at work
reading,
sorting, and summarizing more than 1,800 community member
statements,
from
more than 100 community discussions from across five continents.
Each
of
these statements was a response to the question: "What do we want
to
build
or achieve together over the next 15 years?"
You can find the full report on the major themes, and more
details
about
them, in a summarized report on Meta-Wiki.[1]
Some common themes emerged from these conversations:
- Reliable, neutral, high-quality content
- Community health & support
- Internal & external collaboration
- Improved and new features
- Users, editors, & contributors
- Outreach, awareness, & promotion
- Innovation and adaptation
- Funding, staffing, and other organizational needs
- Support for emerging communities
- Advancing Wikipedia in education
- Movement values
- Sustainability & growth
Each of these themes is described in more detail within the body
of
the
report,[1] and the full data spreadsheet from this analysis will
be
posted
soon.
The movement strategy team has been working to group these themes
together,
so that we have a smaller number of concepts to consider in the
next
cycle.
Because this work is important, we want to make sure the grouping
and
analysis are comprehensive and thoughtful. In order to make sure
we
can
get
it right, we’re delaying the start of cycle 2 discussions until
next
week.
As you probably know, the Turkish authorities blocked Wikipedia
in
Turkey
this week.[2] We’ve been working around the clock to understand
the
circumstances and respond appropriately, including appealing in
Turkish
court. We’re grateful to everyone who has reached out to offer us
your
thoughts and perspective. Government limitations on free
knowledge
are
just
one of the critical issues that have come up during the movement
strategy
process. As we confront these challenges in real time, it has
been
a
reminder for me how important our work is, and how it has very
real
implications for people around the globe. Again, thank you.
Kendine iyi bak (Turkish translation: “Take care of yourself”),

Yes but we are speaking about Turkey.
Kiwix is offline but also *portable*. It's sufficient to download once and to distribute many times.

We need to have develop apks (the file format for an app) that can be passed around by USB stick or other method and yes more mirrors are important. We need to make it clear that it is impossible to suppress open content :-)
