From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

This page is obsolete or no longer maintained, and kept for historical interest. If you want to revive discussion regarding the subject, you can use the talk page or start a discussion on the community discussion page.

This is a proposed mailing list for topics that concern the Wikimedia Community, but not necessarily the Wikimedia Foundation or its Board or Staff. This is purely a list for feedback from the Wikimedia Community and its many editors.

[edit] Example discussion topics

• Hi, I'm trying to help my wiki in language X grow, do you have any ideas about how to do it?
• Hi Wikimedians, do you think 3RR should be a policy on every wiki? Why or why not?
• Hi other projects, I'm curious to get impressions about how other projects deal with 'difficult users'. We have a user who does X and we don't quite want to block him, because he makes useful edits, but the way he relates to other people is causing friction. any ideas?
• "Silent knowledge", tradition not policy, of various projects; gentle instruction the best practices of the community as a whole and across projects.
