I have a suggestion.
Both WMF and the community are operating under resource constraints, and I think that the question of whether and how WMF should resource the support of additional projects versus current projects is a good one to have in the context of the strategy discussion. Rather than try to work out that issue here on Research-l, I suggest that the issue be flagged to Nicole Ebber for inclusion in the strategy discussions.
Similarly, I think that the role of Wikidata in the Wikimedia universe would be good to have in the context of the strategy process.
