-------- Messaggio Originale -------- Oggetto: Five-year WMF targets exclude non-Wikipedia projects Data: Sun, 10 Oct 2010 12:33:07 +0200 Da: Federico Leva (Nemo) A: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Despite repeated assurances at Wikimania, on lists and on strategywiki, that the strategic plan was going to consider all Wikimedia projects as important, now at http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Five-year_targets the second target, «Increase the amount of information we offer» considers only the number of Wikipedia articles. «We're aware of the challenges around bot-created articles, articles of low quality, etc., and the limited focus on Wikipedia, so this metric shouldn't be seen in isolation, but is an important indicator.» Yes, but a wrong one.
I'm, very, very disappointed: I have to conclude that all the words on community participation etc. were only empty rhetoric.

Ciao,
I'm grateful for you to head it up. Wikiquote has unreasonably not been recognized lately on Wikimania - weirdly it was not mentioned on the program where all other Wikimedia projects was listed, despite wikiquote.org was (and is too) the 3rd most visited domain among Wikimedia domains.
Occasional responses to this kind of ignorance, either done by intention or just by carelessness, are welcome and beneficial I believe.
Salve,
