Program focus: Community and participation, Content

In 2015, WMNL continue to support the online community and work to improve the content of the Wikimedia projects.

We will provide concrete, practical support to editors, reaching out in particular to the communities working on the smaller sister projects (i.e.not Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons). And we are going to support community efforts to improve the working atmosphere on the Wikimedia projects, by providing training and coaching.

The topics 'Nature' and the 'Second World War' are the focus for online and offline activities for a second year. We have found that this focus creates synergy in our work aimed at improving content and bringing in new editors. We will also support community initiatives aiming to remedy the fact that Wikipedia is particularly strong in providing information on topics that are traditionally considered important by men. A highlight in our 2015 calendar will undoubtedly be the international GLAM Wiki conference that we will organize in April 2015.

In 2014 we did a feasibility study into developing an education programme. In 2015 we will do a number of pilot projects to determine whether cooperation with higher education can become a permanent element in our workplan for the future.

To provide the best service to the movement, we will survey members, editors and the general public to get insight into understanding, attitudes, and expectations. The results will provide a framework for communication activities and strategy development for the coming years.
