Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to share that the Wikimedia Foundation has now posted a revised version of our FY2016-2017 Annual Plan. [1] This revised version has been updated based on feedback from community and affiliates, and in response to FDC recommendations [2]. For convenience, we've summarized the changes as an appendix, [3] and of course, you can also view the diff page for detailed review. [4] 

The Foundation's responses to the FDC's comments are available on a general and program-by-program basis on the FDC talk page. [5]

I'd like to express my sincere thanks to everyone who provided feedback on the WMF's Annual Plan throughout this process, and to Foundation staff for their efforts responding to comments and updating the plan accordingly.

Have a great weekend,

Katherine

Hi everyone,


The Foundation is pleased to announce that our Annual Plan is now on Meta.[1] This year's plan focuses on improving support for--and consultation with--community, responding effectively to changing user needs, and addressing strategic challenges facing our movement. We're investing in areas that we believe the Foundation is uniquely positioned to address, including readership and reach, volunteer retention and engagement, and support for knowledge creation. 

Thank you to everyone who contributed earlier this year to the strategy consultations, which helped guide our thinking. 

We look forward to your feedback!

Warmly,

Katherine
