Hello,
[Depending on when you joined the list and on your role, this message may
contain information that is redundant or not relevant to you. In
particular, most of what follows has already been sent to the contractors.]
Thank you for being here and for your willingness to contribute to the
movement strategy process. In this message, I will give an overview of the
resources and documents that are available to support your efforts. Most of
this information is available on Meta-Wiki from the "Organize
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Organize>"
page.
Main pages to be aware of
First, a quick look at the main pages on Meta:
- The main portal
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017>
is the landing page for the project. It provides a high-level overview and
orients people towards more specific areas of work
- The "Participate
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Participate>"
page is a list of the discussions currently happening on wikis, online, and
in person. If there are discussions in your language, they are shown at the
top of the page.
- The List of organizers
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Outreach/List>
is a list of all the discussions that are underway, planned, or potential.
If someone is planning a discussion and you would like to help, you can
contact them directly.
Organizing your own discussion
If there is no one currently running or planning a discussion in your
group, language, or community, you are encouraged to start one. The "
Organize
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Organize>"
page will guide you through how to do that, and you are also welcome to ask
for advice on this list.
The "Process
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Process>"
page provides more information about the overall process and timeline. We
are currently in Cycle 1 in Phase 1. This Cycle 1 is open until April 14
(approximately three weeks from now). If you want your group or community
to participate in Cycle 1, *you should start now*.
If you have started your own discussion
If you have already started a discussion, thank you! There are discussion
guides
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Toolkit/Discussion_guide>
to help you run the discussions if needed. The strategy team has also
recently added a list of additional questions
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Toolkit/Discussion_guide/List_of_questions>
that
you can use to keep the discussion going with your group or community. The
team will try to add more questions in the next weeks.
Remember to summarize your discussions regularly
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Toolkit/Sharing_back>
so that your ideas and opinions can be included in the conclusions. It will
also help people in order discussions know what your group or community is
thinking. If possible, remember to document the process, for example by
taking photos of your events, video-conference, or meetups.
Ask questions!
There is a lot more information available but I don't want to send too
much in this email. If you have any questions about this or other topics,
please ask them on this list and either I or other coordinators will do our
best to to help you.
Thank you,
