Hello, GLAM and Edu people,
The Wikimedia Foundation will start a global consultation about
communication on the wikis. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and
wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication. We want all
contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, regardless of
their experience, their skills, or their devices. Learn more at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk_pages_consultation_2019
Two requests specifically for you:
1) *How does your group communicate?*
Is it all on wiki, or do you use Facebook, e-mail, in-person meetings, or
other tools? I know that different GLAM and Edu partners have specific
needs and workflows. Please document your group's current practices at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk_pages_consultation_2019/Tools_in_use
(Hint: use the visual editor to add information, links, and new rows to
the tables.)
2) *Can you organize a discussion with your community about communication?*
Please ask your group to tell you what they need to talk about, what works
for them now, and what problems they have. Then please post a summary of
that discussion for everyone to read on
MediaWiki.org. It's helpful if you
sign up at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk_pages_consultation_2019#Participate
If you have any questions, please ask on the main talk page for the project:

THANK YOU!
