Timing and distribution methods
For a "community conversation", I have to say it's pretty hard to find which talk page to post on in this warren of subpages! :) This seems to have only recently made its way to enwiki, as Megalibrarygirl indicated above. The timeline on this page suggests the survey period ended June 30. Rosiestep helpfully ducked in from her travels to let us know that the Community Health survey, at least, will be open till next Friday. Can we confirm that's the case for the others as well? I'd like to get this much more broadly distributed, but also don't want people to end up spending time on responses that are past the deadline for consideration. Pinging SGrabarczuk (WMF) as the creator of these pages - sorry if you're the wrong person, but maybe you know who the right person is :)
Separately, I'd like to ask about the distribution plan this page describes: "The chosen approach for distribution is using existing liaison networks as well as social media channels". How did that approach get chosen, and by whom? Was a method of distributing announcements directly to Wikimedia communities on their respective wikis considered? I have some pretty serious reservations about using social media for this sort of thing. Commercial sites like Twitter or Facebook are not the places I expect to get news about my free-knowledge hobby. (This is especially ironic considering the stated strategic directions motivating this whole exercise!) As in the section above, it raises concerns about selection bias if responses generated by social-media contacts are different in some way from responses generated by outreach methods that meet project communities where they already are, on wikis. This is apparently a multi-year project, intended to set a decade's worth of direction - I think it's worth taking the time to make sure you hear from current volunteers who invest their efforts primarily in their chosen local communities.
