Hi all,
*Summary: The report from cycle 1 discussion is online[1]. The start of
cycle 2 is delayed until next week.*
Thank you for your contributions! We have been hard at work reading,
sorting, and summarizing more than 1,800 community member statements, from
more than 100 community discussions from across five continents. Each of
these statements was a response to the question: "What do we want to build
or achieve together over the next 15 years?"
You can find the full report on the major themes, and more details about
them, in a summarized report on Meta-Wiki.[1]
Some common themes emerged from these conversations:
* Reliable, neutral, high-quality content
* Community health & support
* Internal & external collaboration
* Improved and new features
* Users, editors, & contributors
* Outreach, awareness, & promotion
* Innovation and adaptation
* Funding, staffing, and other organizational needs
* Support for emerging communities
* Advancing Wikipedia in education
* Movement values
* Sustainability & growth
Each of these themes is described in more detail within the body of the
report,[1] and the full data spreadsheet from this analysis will be posted
soon.
The movement strategy team has been working to group these themes together,
so that we have a smaller number of concepts to consider in the next cycle.
Because this work is important, we want to make sure the grouping and
analysis are comprehensive and thoughtful. In order to make sure we can get
it right, we’re delaying the start of cycle 2 discussions until next week.
As you probably know, the Turkish authorities blocked Wikipedia in Turkey
this week.[2] We’ve been working around the clock to understand the
circumstances and respond appropriately, including appealing in Turkish
court. We’re grateful to everyone who has reached out to offer us your
thoughts and perspective. Government limitations on free knowledge are just
one of the critical issues that have come up during the movement strategy
process. As we confront these challenges in real time, it has been a
reminder for me how important our work is, and how it has very real
implications for people around the globe. Again, thank you.
Kendine iyi bak (Turkish translation: “Take care of yourself”),
Katherine

Greetings all,
There are some new pages available for translation, as part of preparations
for Cycle 2, as well as work to clarify various aspects.
The easiest access is via
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=agg-20…
There will be additional pages and paragraphs over the next few days as we
prepare for the launch Katherine has noted in her email update yesterday,
and we'll send a synopsis as the content surfaces on Meta.
Much thanks for any help, and hope you're having a good weekend.

Moin,
Karen just completed marking the cycle 1 report
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Cycle_1/Re…>
up
for translation. I have been reading parts of it since receiving it
yesterday and learnt a lot, especially in regard to completing the summary
of sources already available on Meta.
The related raw data is also due for Meta release by end of this week but I
think there is merit in exploring the findings of the first cycle and,
where helpful to you and your local communities, start translating the text
even if linking the raw data sets might lead to small adjustments of the
existing page.
Best regards,
Jan

Hi there,
Today Reke asked that it is quite calm for the discussion in the past two
weeks. He is wondering what is going on for the strategy discussion. I know
there are some summarizing things going on, but it is only available for
people who read English. So I am wondering what and when will the language
coordinator tell the local contributors the next step?
Thank you.
Liang
Hi all,
Some details about the next cycle are now available for translation,
and for informing the communities that you are coordinating with, at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Updates/Cy…
. Feel free to tweak it according to your and your local community’s
needs. We'll have more updates for this thread during the week as the
full analysis emerges.
We're also marking the notes from the Wikimedia Affiliates Conference
for translation, with Day 3 completed at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2017/Documentation/Mov…
.
If you have any questions for the conference report notes, you can
contact Cornelius, who has worked on it for WMDE.
Much thanks,

Hello to all our volunteer Discussion Coordinators and those following
movement strategy discussions. Thanks again for signing up and for your
engagement in our first cycle of discussions!
As many of you know, as of yesterday, cycle 1 discussions have officially
ended. If you led a discussion and have not already done so, please make
sure to upload and share the results from your conversations as soon as
possible (Ideally, today, at the very latest by 23:59 UTC tomorrow April
20th). When completing your source page [1] submission it is most
important to include the statements and keywords, and, if you feel
inclined, optionally you may submit longer summaries. Be sure to also link
your source pages[1] to the right column ("Summary Pages") in the outreach
list[2]. If you have need for support, please reach out!
If you are interested in exchange with other discussion coordinators, you
can see who else took on this role in other groups here[2] and I would also
like to encourage you to subscribe to the coordinators' mailing list[3].
Today, the core team has begun analyzing and gathering the common themes from
across all the global discussions and is working to post them soon to Meta.
We will be preparing for the next cycle of the discussion to begin May
1st. In the next cycle the process will invite folks to look at the top 20
thematic clusters and work together to reduce them down to a top 5 and
better define their meaning.
We will share more information and support on how to organize the upcoming
conversations once that cycle begins. In the meantime, thank you for your
support in uploading any remaining summaries and feel free to reach out
should you have questions, ideas, or concerns.
Thanks,
Jaime
