Talk:Reading/Strategy/Strategy Process


 * Kindly note that we have a Q&A which can serve as starters :)

External Perception: people don't understand how Wikipedia works
For a very simple intervention, see W:EN:Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Research_help/Demo/4. Click on the question mark... What do you think? Cheers, Ocaasi (WMF) (talk) 12:39, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Definition of the problem
The problem selected is "Our core capabilities, infrastructures, and workflows are not optimized for emerging platforms, experiences, and communities" and the community is asked to think of choices and possibilities to solve it. However, this problem isn't defined beyond this sentence, and it is unclear that those who didn't attend the workshop will have the same understanding. When you say "Our", who is "We"? The Wikimedia movement in general, the editors, the developers, the Foundation...? What are "core capabilities"? What are "emerging platforms" or "emerging experiences"? Interestingly, I think I would understand better this sentence if the Editing department would have come up with it, but in the context of Reading it is harder to deduce. Without a common understanding of the problem it is impossible to join the next steps of your strategy process (which I'm *very* happy that you want to share with us!).--Qgil-WMF (talk) 12:33, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
