Plans for the future
[edit]- Plans for the short term (1 year)
- Mueseums, photos and copyright
- Contacts with government and highly influential organisations
- Get the members more active through local initiatives
- Wikipedia Academy, Stockholm, november 2009
- Courses in schools etc about how Wikipedia works - to get more people contributing to Wikipedia and its sister projects
- See also the google translate of our plan for 2009.
- Plans for the medium term (3 years)
- Intoduce sv:wp as a place for professionals (resesearch groups) to publizise their findings (puts demands on some better "follow up" tools and some new type of specialgroup administartors)
- Introduce what is necessary in order for sv:wp not to deteriorate from a risk of being infested with inferior material when the number of veteran users on sv:wp is decreasing
Expectations
[edit]- Exchange best practices for donations of free pictures and getting scholars to contribute
- Chapter and WMF trademark agreement and business deals
