Hello all,

Five years ago, I was part of the work on a strategic plan for the Wikimedia movement.  Much has changed since then.  Now, I’m back...and we’re working on strategic direction again.  :-)

Today, we're kicking-off a two-week community consultation about the future of Wikimedia.

I hope you'll participate in the online discussion about new internet trends and how Wikimedia responds to these changes, which will help to shape the future of Wikimedia.  

The discussion is on meta, at

For more background on this consultation, check out this blog post:

Your vision matters.  I look forward to hearing from you as we chart the way forward.

Regards,

Philippe Beaudette

Director, Community Advocacy
