[Foundation-l] Future of Wikimedia

I found the following recently-created essay by Yair rand to be
thought-provoking and wanted to bring it to the attention of others:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Yair_rand/Future_of_Wikimedia

Its main theme is that "a Wikipedia surrounded by successful projects will
have a far better future than without".  Too often outreach efforts,
strategic planning, and development of MediaWiki focus solely on Wikipedia.
The essay provides arguments as to why that tunnel-vision would be
ill-advised and advice on ways the other projects can be improved.
