Hi Gerard,
I agree it is a good practice to try to find a definition. In my
understanding, diversity is the range of differences in a series of things,
people, cultural traits, etc. So, diversity applied to Wikimedia, it can be
understood as to how well the different profiles in society are engaged in
contributing to our projects, how the different governance structures allow
different profiles to access positions in decision-making, how the
communities capture all the different available knowledge in certain
geographical contexts, etc.
Thanks for asking.
Best,
Marc

Hoi,
Ah yes, I can read.
In my mind when conferences are held on a particular subject and it is not
clear what the subject is, "how can there be a solution or progress. It
will be whatever people think it is and results will not be results, they
are what happens anyway. Not knowing what your subject is is not SMART.
So, again what is meant by diversity"?
