Hi everyone,
WMF group product manager Sonja Perry has offered to meet with us, although I’m still waiting to hear back from her regarding a date and time. I imagine everyone is in post-Wikimania catch-up-with-everything mode.
How about if we start brainstorming towards an agenda for this meeting? The meeting does not have to be limited to tools that only WiRs use. For instance, as WiRs we often work with new editors so some of us might have suggestions for improving the new editor experience.
What issues, questions, and discussion topics would you like to cover in this meeting?
Cheers, Su-Laine Wikipedian in Residence, Energy Tracker Asia

Sorry that your kind invitation was missed. Sonja Perry (copied) could join your meeting.

Hi Selena,
I hope you are well. It was great to meet you at WikiConference North America last year.
I’m writing today on behalf of the Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network (WREN). At a WREN meeting last Monday, we had a lively discussion about tooling, including AI strategy, tool maintenance, and documentation. As experienced, intensive users who also mentor new users, we have a lot of suggestions and questions regarding WMF technology. We thought it would be good to invite you to be a special guest at a future WREN meeting where we could share our feedback and ideas with you, and brainstorm together.
To make the best use of everyone’s time, I will work with the group ahead of time to prepare a prioritized agenda and I will also ensure that good meeting notes are taken.
We are aiming for a meeting in early September, such as September 9, but we are flexible on the date. An ideal time would be at around 20 UTC (1pm Pacific Time) as we have interested members across North America and in Europe, Africa, and New Zealand.
Please let me know what you think.

Hello friends
Is the next meeting on September 9th at 20 UTC confirmed ?
There is a project I would love to shortly introduce. I do not need a lot of time at all. But I am interested by a little slot. Would it be possible ?
Cheers
Florence
