Implement the Wikimedia Foundation Call to Action 2015
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

As the Wikimedia Foundation initiated the 2015 strategy process, we reviewed our accomplishments and challenges from the prior year. We identified a need for better alignment, improved processes, and greater clarity.

In response the WMF developed a set of actions for 2015, designed to focus the organization around immediate and long-term mission-driven opportunities. These objectives are intended to reinforce the core of the Wikimedia Foundation and prepare us for the future. They reflect our commitment and calibration around excellence, community, and innovation.

We are calling them our 2015 Call to Action.

Improve technology & execution

Focus on knowledge & community

Support innovation & new knowledge

Is the "call to action" a 2015-2016 thing, or literally solar year 2015?

This Call to Action is planned to continue guiding the WMF until the end of the fiscal year (end of June 2016).

After 9 months, 0 of the "Blocked by" tasks listed in this task have been resolved. There are 5 months left.

I'm keeping an eye on our communication and actions ref this Call to Action 2015. Creating these tasks was an experiment that I had requested. I will eventually resolve this, as the WMF resolved the reporting on the Call to Action 2015.

Are the blocking tasks being worked on or not? If so, where is the work being performed, tracked and reported?

At this point, the tracking bugs are just adding noise to our issue tracker, see e.g. T98358#2136837. Can we please close all of them invalid? Thanks.

Agreed. This was a well-intentioned experiment that didn't work as I expected. Sorry for the expectations created and the noise.

I will close the tasks as Invalid and I will archive WMF-Call-To-Action .
