Hi all,

I am not sure this is a strategic concern but when I went on the Wikimedia UK to view the link below, I checked the Engine Room where I could find no follow up as regards the problems with the watchlist highlighted nearly a year ago.

I would be interested to know what the plans are for the wiki as it might be sensible to shut it down if it is not going to be fixed.

Perhaps we could have some discussion as regards this, and what steps should be made to preserve the documentation posted on the wiki.

all the best,

Leutha aka Fabian

Dear all


During 2019 Wikimedia UK has been working to a draft new strategic
framework for 2019 - 2022 which was developed earlier this year through
discussions with staff, board and volunteers. Our delivery and reporting in
the current financial year has been based on the new framework, however the
strategy has remained in draft form while we considered the strategic
implications of the recommendations emerging from the global movement
strategy working groups.


Following a board away day in late September 2019 the draft strategy has
been further refined, and is shared on wiki here:


https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Wikimedia_UK_Strategy_2019%E2%80%9322


Whilst the strategy builds on our achievements and learning from 2016 to
2019 and represents a new iteration rather than a complete change of
direction, there is a greater emphasis on Wikimedia UK’s role as a
facilitator and enabler of open knowledge, rather than as an organisation
focused on project delivery. Within this framework, our underpinning
delivery model of partnerships, community and technology becomes even more
important, and we welcome feedback on how to strengthen our effectiveness
in these three areas, in addition to any other comments on our proposed
approach. Please add your comments and questions to the talk page by Sunday
10th November 2019 - or feel to email me directly with your feedback.


This week, we also submitted our proposal to the Wikimedia Foundation for
funding of £335,000 in 2020/21. You can see our proposal here:

With thanks and best wishes
