I hope it may serve as an effective communication tool for us, to discuss the next step, which I think is establishing a user group on Meta, see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_genealogy_project#Wikimedia_user_group

I would be very interested to get everyone's viewpoint and suggestion for some sort of strategy action plan in how you think we should progress, and how we can attract more users involved already from the beginning.

With those words of introduction, I look forward to feedback from everyone, even just a couple of words would be great, just to get a start where everyone feels involved. If someone wants to share more in-deep thoughts, that may be even more important, so we can get an insight in each others expectations, visions and so on. One important question when we should take the step and create the user group?

And an important issue, there are Genealogy interested users on dewiki and frwiki. Im afraid we haven't reached those users with the meta page, and the newsletters Is anyone engaged in those language wikis, and have an idea how we can invite them to get involved and organize all different projects under one umbrella, or at least establish an organized communication bridge?

I believe that a large number of those users never take any part in enwiki and meta.
