Dear Indic Wikimedians,

I'm reaching out to highlight an important document called Global Majority Wikimedia Technology Priorities. This aims to highlight the needs of the Global Majority within the Wikimedia movement, which includes Indic Wikimedia Projects and communities.

This document is the outcome of collaborative efforts involving nine Wikimedia organizations and the active participation of fourteen contributors. It was constructed through a comprehensive research process encompassing assessment, interviews, proposals, and internalization. Wiki Movimento Brasil led this process, in partnership with CIS-A2K.

The ten priorities laid out were around two high-priority main concepts: the promotion of epistemic diversity, prioritizing representation and inclusion of the Global Majority communities and knowledge in decision-making spaces and protocols, and the decentering of tech development, prioritizing Global Majority communities’ needs and fostering a federated network of stakeholders to develop in the Wikimedia projects and tools.

Your contributions, input and involvement are crucial for these priorities. Please share your thoughts and opinions on Meta-Wiki. Feel free to endorse the document as an individual or on behalf of an affiliate group or other organizations if you agree with it.

Thank you for your contributions to the Wikimedia movement.

Best regards,
Pavan Santhosh,
Program Manager,
CIS-A2K.
