Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan 2024-2025

Engagement[edit]

Over the last few years we have continued to evolve and improve a collaborative planning process – the Wikimedia Foundation’s focus remains centered on humans and technology given the Foundation’s unique role as the platform provider for people and communities who are leading peer-to-peer knowledge production systems. The four overarching goals (Equity, Infrastructure, Safety, Effectiveness) remain constant, while the work and deliverables within them iterates on the significant progress made in the current year.

The discussions began this year with Talking:2024 - conversations between Foundation staff, leaders, board members, and Wikimedians around the world. They were followed by an invitation from Chief Product & Technology Officer Selena Deckelmann for input on-wiki into proposed objectives for the Foundation’s product and technology work next year. These objectives build on ongoing conversations through Talking:2024, which highlighted the importance of continuing focus on the needs of our platform and online contributors.

We welcome your ideas now through 31st May 2024 and will update this page as new on-wiki and live discussions open in various channels and languages. These discussions are where the Wikimedians share their take on the proposed plans and share about their own goals for the upcoming year. Inspired by what so many others are doing in their own work, we continue to find opportunities to collaborate and learn from the planning processes and work of others in the Wikimedia movement as well as other partners. This year there are many ways to engage: here on Meta-Wiki, in co-created community spaces, on Wikimedia project pages, and on community channels.

Co-created Community spaces[edit]

This year, staff and leaders from the Wikimedia Foundation will be joining existing community organized calls for two-way planning around next year’s draft annual plan. Additionally, Foundation staff are organizing several thematic calls that anyone can attend based on their area of interest.

On-Wiki[edit]

A summary message to engage in annual plan conversation will be posted locally on various projects. The full version of draft annual plan materials with accompanying translations will live on this Meta-Wiki portal. You can collaborate with us on both local talk pages and here on the Meta-Wiki talk page, always in your preferred language. We will add links here to where the content has been posted as they become available.

Other conversations about the annual planning are also happening in other community channels on Discord and Telegram. We encourage you to join the discussions if you subscribe to these channels.

Product-specific conversations will happen in different channels. The conversations are between members of communities who collaborate with the Wikimedia Foundation Product teams that own objectives and key results in the annual plan. Community members interested in specific objectives and key results owned by Product teams can engage with the teams for work details of the objectives they own, its implementation, and alignment with the communities' work and interests.

The engagements are opportunities to ask questions and get clarification on the product teams' outlined work for the 2024–25 year based on the annual plan objectives and key results. We will add links to places where product teams are engaging with their audiences when they become available.
