Hi everyone,

Platform evolution is one of three priority areas for the Wikimedia Foundation for fiscal year 21-22. Some of you took part in related discussions in December and January, such as around improving user experience. There are interesting product and technology developments in the pipeline — including great work that will continue from this year to next and new streams of work to better support a thriving movement and respond to a rapidly-changing world of technology. Inviting you to read more about the Foundation's Annual Plan on Diff https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/07/13/wikimedia-foundation-fy21-22-annual-plan/ and to attend related conversations with the Product and Technology departments, as well as others, when they happen soon.

Please see below from Wikimedia-l. Apologies for cross-posting.

Regards, Mehrdad

Hello everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan for this fiscal year - which runs from July 1, 2021 until June 30, 2022 - is now published. You can read an overview of the Annual Plan on Diff https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/07/13/wikimedia-foundation-fy21-22-annual-plan/ [1], and review the full Annual Plan and its supporting materials, including videos, on our Meta-Wiki https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Medium-term_plan_2019/Annual_Plan_2021-2022page. [2] Translations of the Meta page and video subtitles into Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Spanish are underway and will be completed in the next few days. The Foundation’s executive team will also be hosting a series of live Annual Plan Conversations https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Medium-term_plan_2019/Annual_Plan_2021-2022#Annual_Plan_Conversations at the end of the month to answer questions from communities.
