Historia

Awali historia ya Wikipedia ilikuwa na sifa ya machafuko kiasi kutokana na ugeni. Utawala wa Wikipedia ulifanyika kwa ufanisi, na Jimmy Wales (Jimbo) peke yake, kwa msaada wa Orodha washiriki usambazaji.

Mamlaka mpana wa miradi ya kupanua walichokifikiria, kuongozwa na pendekezo katika wikien-l ujumbe wa Sheldon Rampton:

Nadhani tunapaswa kwenda mbali zaidi ya lengo kwa lengo la mwisho la kujenga"Wikimedia."Hii ni pamoja na vyombo vya habari "m". Ingekuwa kutumia sheria Mtind-Wiki kuruhusu ushiriki wa umma katika uumbaji na uhariri wa kila aina ya ensaiklopidia vyombo vya habari na vitabu vingine rejea, habari za sasa, vitabu, uongo, muziki, video, nk Kama sasa vyombo vya habari audiovisuella, ingekuwa kutofautishwa "njia" na "Mipango", kila mmoja na mikutano ya binafsi uteuzi. Tofauti na vyombo vya habari leo, hata hivyo, umma pia kushiriki kikamilifu katika uumbaji wa programu yake mwenyewe, badala ya kuangalia utulivu.

Jina la "Wikimedia.org" lilinunuliwa na mavili kusubili kuwa chini ya umiliki wa mashirika yasiyo fanya faida ya Wikipedia na wikimedia.

Mnamo mwezi Juni 20, 2003, Jimmy Wales - ambaye alikuwa akiendesha Wikipedia chini ya kampuni yake ya Bomis-[// lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2003-June/010743.html alitangaza] kuundwa "Shirika la Wikimedia, ambalo lililengwa kuendeshwa kama chombo mlezi, shirika lisilo jiendesha kwa faida Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, na miradi mingineyo ya wiki iliyo chini ya leseni ya bure ambayo iliwekwa kwenye "familia Wikimedia" Tazama pia makala ya Wikipedia ya Kiingereza Wikipedia: en:Wikimedia Foundation..

The first Board of Trustees composed of Jimmy Wales (Chair), Michael Davis and Tim Shell. In June 2004, the next Board of Trustees was composed of 5 people, Jimmy Wales (Chair), Florence Devouard (Vice Chair), Michael Davis (Treasurer), Tim Shell and Angela Beesley. In 2006, Tim and Angela left the Board, whilst Erik Möller, Jan-Bart de Vreede, Kat Walsh and Oscar van Dillen joined it. In October, Florence Devouard became the Chair of the Board, in replacement of Jimmy Wales, who maintained the role as Chairman Emeritus. The first employees joined the organization in 2005, Danny Wool and Brion Vibber. In 2008, the Board was restructured amongst conflicts with the community, and Jimmy Wales was granted the Founder's seat additionally to the Chairman Emeritus.

Shirika lilichukua mwelekeo mpya katika majira ya joto ya 2007, wakati Sue Gardner aliajiriwa kama mtendeji wa muda(ED). Kwa wakati huu, lina wafanyakazi wapatao 10, wengi wao wakiwa katika ofisi ya Florida na wengine wako Uingereza, Ujerumani na Uholanzi. kamati nyingi ziliundwa mwezi januari 2006 kwa wakati huo hakuwa hai.

In 2007, the Foundation decided to move away from its Florida office. San Francisco was chosen as the destination (Boston was its main competitor). The former headquarters in Florida were closed on January 31, 2008.

The Foundation's San Francisco headquarters were originally at 39 Stillman Street. In 2009, it moved less than a kilometer to 149 New Montgomery Street, and in 2017 to its current location at One Montgomery Tower.

The Board was substantially restructured in April 2008. For more information, see:
