Dear LangCom members,
The short information provided below is just FYI, so no action is asked
from you as a committee.
As you know, to deal with the requests for opening/closing Wikimedia
projects (not the language projects the LangCom deals with), the WMF Board
has created a Wikimedia Foundation Sibling Projects Task Force*
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Comm…>
.
Natalia and I are informing you that we are planning to have a public
feedback period on the Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle in May/June
(we are trying to squeeze it in between the draft Movement Charter feedback
and its ratification).
Here is a draft document itself, in case you are interested -- the idea is
to try to have a conversation about policy and approach to opening and
closing projects and reasons to (not) do so:
