[Foundation-l] Do we have a complete set of WMF projects?

The question isn't "Is there more we could do?" because there most
certainly is. The question is "Is there more we want to do?" We need
to decide what really is the scope of the Wikimedia movement. We never
really made that decision before starting the existing projects and
just started any project that had enough support to be viable (which
resulted in some mistakes, such as the 9/11 memorial wiki). We still
haven't made that decision but now we work as if the decision has been
made to restrict ourselves to the existing projects, which, obviously,
means we don't open any new projects. We need to stop and actually
make that decision - I think the big strategy plan that we are just
starting is a good framework to do that within.
