Биылғы жылдық жоспар әлем үшін де, Уикимедиа қозғалысы үшін де күн сайын артып келе жатқан белгісіздік, тұрақсыздық және қиыншылыққа тап келіп отыр. Жаһандық тұрғыда желідегі сенімді ақпараттың рөлі өте маңызды әрі қазіргі жағдайда одан сайын артып келе жатыр. Ұйымдар мен онлайн платформалар интернеттің екіге жарылып, бөлшектеніп жатқан заманында жол таба алуы керек. Ақпарат іздеудің жаңа әдістері, соның ішінде чатқа негізделген іздеу түрлері танымал болып келе жатыр. Жасанды интеллект (AI) арқылы машиналық жолмен контент жасаудың оңай болып кетуі Уикимедианың техника арқылы адам басқаратын білім жүйесі ретіндегі рөліне де, оның қаржы моделіне де мүмкіндік берумен қатар қауіп те төндіріп тұр.

Осындай кедергілерге қарамастан Қор Уикимедиа қозғалысының 2030 жылға арналған стратегиялық бағытына сүйене отырып, жылдық жоспар мен бірнеше жылға жоспар құруды жалғастыра бермек. Айналамыздағы әлемде болып жатқан өзгерістер бұл бағытымызды одан сайын маңызды ете түспек. Тегін білімнің маңызды инфрақұрылымы болуға шақыру жай ғана шабыттандыратын сөз емес, өзгеріске ұшырап жатқан айналамызға жауап ретінде жобаларымыз бен ұйымдарымыздың тұрақтылығын үздіксіз бағалап тұрудағы міндетіміз.

Уикимедиа қозғалысының мақсаты бұрынғыша Стратегиялық бағыттың екі басты тірегіне негізделе бермек:

  1. Білімдегі теңдік: "адамзаттың әралуандығын түгел көрсететін білімді жинау арқылы әлемді ілгері жылжыту."
  2. Білімнің қызметтік функциясы: "қызметтер мен құрылымдар жасап, басқаларға да сондай мүмкіндік беру."

Қозғалыс ретінде біз әлемге сенімді ақпарат ұсынуды және контент жасау мен басқаруды 320-дан астам тілде орындайтын еріктілерді ынталандыруды жалғастыра беруіміз керек.

Осы жылдық жоспарда біз Қордың негізгі жұмысымен қатар Қозғалыс стратегиясының ұсыныстарын алға жылжыту үшін жұмыс істеп жүрген көптеген топтар мен жекелеген адамдардың жетістігін атап өтеміз. Алдағы жылдары Қор 2030 жылғы стратегиялық бағытымызға ұжым болып жету мақсатымызда ұсыныстардың қай жерлерде көбірек ақпарат беретінін анық белгілеуді де бастайды.

Сондай-ақ біз одан әрі де жоспарлауымыз керек. 2030 жылдан кейінгі уақытқа қарау миссиямыз үшін өте маңызды, ал ол бізден "пайдалы ақпарат жасап, оны интернетте мәңгілікке тегін пайдалана алатын қылуды" талап етеді. Ондаған жыл бойы Уикипедия контенті тұрақты түрде Google-дағы іздеу сұрауларының 99%-нда бірінші бетте көрсетіліп келді. Оны тіпті "бүкіл цифрлық әлемді біріктіріп тұрған фактілік торап" деп те атайды.

Дей тұрғанмен, күні бүгінге дейін жобаларымыз бен қаржы моделімізге жақсы қызмет етіп келген сілтемеге негізделген іздеу сәулетінен чатқа негізделген іздеу сәулетіне ауысу процесі әлі бастапқы сатысында болса да, ұзаққа қалайын деп тұрғанға ұқсайды. Біз мұны адамдардың онлайн режимде ақпарат жасап, тұтынуындағы келесі буынға ауысу барысы деп сенеміз. Интернет одан әрі әралуан және жаһандық болған сайын, сондай-ақ ағылшын тілінің үстемдігі азайған сайын бұл өзгерістер үдей бермек.

Бұдан шыққан нәрсе стратегиялық парадокс болып тұр: Уикимедиа жобалары интернеттің білім инфрақұрылымы үшін маңыздырақ бола тұрып, интернет пайдаланушылары үшін азырақ көрінетін болып бара жатыр. Олар маңыздырақ, себебі Уикипедияны ақпарат алудың, соның ішінде іздеудің (және одан да басқасының) болашағы саналатын ірі тіл модельдері "сіңіріп" жатыр. Көптеген есептеулерге сүйенсек, ағылшынша Уикипедия ChatGPT тұтынатын оқыту деректерінің ең ірі жалғыз көзін (сондай-ақ ең сапалысын) құрайды. Жалпы айтқанда, бұл – жақсы нәрсе. Сенімді жасанды интеллектіге сенімді фактілер базасы керек.

Солай бола тұра, Уикимедиа контенті интернеттің маңызды инфрақұрылымының азырақ көрінетін бөлігіне айналып барады, себебі күн өткен сайын жабық әрі ЖИ арқылы басқарылып бара жатқан интернет енді фактілердің дереккөзін көрсетпейді немесе тіпті Уикипедияға сілтемейді де. Үшінші тараптардың контентті пайдалануына негізделген әлеуметтік келісімшарт қысымға ұшырап жатыр. Жасанды интелектінің нақты әсерін әлі толық көрмесек те, мұндай қысым уақыт өте келе жергілікті трафик және жаңа қатысушылар сияқты кейбір көрсеткіштеріміздің құлдырауына әкеп соғуы мүмкін.

Any annual plan must be informed by multi-year and multigenerational strategies that advance our mission in perpetuity. Anchored in Wikimedia's movement strategy, the Foundation continues to engage in three areas to inform our multi-year planning and projections:

  1. FINANCIAL MODEL: Wikimedia's financial model and future projections for revenue streams in online fundraising (which we anticipate will not continue to grow at the same rate as in the past), the next phase of the Wikimedia Endowment, and the lessons we have learned so far from Wikimedia Enterprise.
  2. PRODUCT and TECHNOLOGY: Centering the Foundation's role to support the technology needs of the Wikimedia movement, understanding the needs of our many different contributor communities, leading innovations for future audiences, as well as evolving our infrastructure for a changing external landscape.
  3. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES: More focused conversations to establish frameworks and principles for understanding the Foundation's core roles and responsibilities. This is intended to help to provide inputs into the movement charter deliberations and broader movement strategy conversations.

Similar to last year, this year's plan remains focused on the central importance of technology, given the Foundation's role as platform provider for communities leading peer-to-peer knowledge production systems around the world. The four overarching goals of this year's plan also remain constant (Infrastructure, Equity, Safety & Integrity, and Effectiveness), while the work and deliverables within each goal iterates on the progress made in the current year.

At a high level, our work for the coming year is focused on improving user experience on Wikimedia projects, providing both the ongoing maintenance needed to support a top 10 global website while also making future-focused investments to meet a changing internet. We will develop a more equitable approach to free knowledge by addressing knowledge gaps and expanding participation in the movement, protect our people and projects from growing external threats, and help ensure Wikimedia's long-term financial sustainability and effectiveness to support the movement into the future.

The Foundation's budget reflects ongoing trade-offs, as we see a slowing rate of new revenue growth. To meet this new reality, the Foundation has slowed its growth significantly over the past two years and made reductions in staffing and expenses last year. Since 2022, funding to movement entities has outpaced the rate of growth for the Foundation, which remains the case for this year's plan.

Бұл миссияда біргеміз

Our collective goal is to help our global community work better together and with us so we can all truly become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge. In the sections that follow, you will find more specific details on the work of various teams at the Foundation in support of these four goals. None of this is work that we can do alone; it will take all of us to create a world in which all people can share in the sum of all knowledge. That is why one of our core values is that we are in this mission together.

Your collaboration on-wiki here on Meta, in community spaces or on your projects's village pump (or equivalent) is welcomed.

Дәл қазір әлемге бізден не керек?

This year, the Foundation is focused on four key external trends impacting our work:

  • Consumers are inundated with information, want it aggregated by trusted people
  • Contributors have many rewarding, potent ways to share knowledge online
  • Content veracity is more contested than ever before, and content will be highly weaponized
  • Regulation poses challenges, threats and opportunities that vary by jurisdiction

As we did last year, the Foundation started planning by asking the question, "What does the world need from us and the Wikimedia projects now?" We conducted research into external trends that are impacting our work, including a larger focus on immediate, bite-sized information; increasing presence of incentives, financial and otherwise, to attract contributors to some platforms; legal and regulatory threats, including platform regulations that can be weaponized against us and our contributors, as well as opportunities to positively advance the public interest; and issues of content veracity and the effect of AI on the information ecosystem.

Last year, we took several steps in response to these external trends, including new investments in the work of the Future Audiences team, such as the development of a ChatGPT plugin, to experiment with new platforms and develop learnings about how people may want to use generative AI to interact with knowledge on the Wikimedia projects. We also created a new working group and invested in tools for better and smarter patrolling for editors with extended rights to help contributors manage the potential growth of mis and disinformation on the Wikimedia projects. We revisited and learned from these trends over the course of the year; for example, even though ChatGPT was one of the fastest growing internet platforms in history, Wikipedia did not see a significant change in readership traffic during that same time period. People still relied on Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects as a source of trusted, accurate information around the world.

Талқылау:2024

To inform this year's Annual Plan, we began with Talking: 2024, conversations to share, listen, and learn with intention. As part of the initiative, Wikimedia Foundation Trustees, executives, and staff hosted 130 conversations on-wiki, with individuals, and in small groups – and the talking continues. These conversations stretch across all regions of the world. We continue to learn from prolific community members to recent newcomers, from technical volunteers to stewards, event organizers, and affiliate leaders.

The takeaways from these conversations also fed directly into our planning for this year, to 2030 and beyond – including thinking about what it would take to build our projects across generations:

  • We consistently heard the need for the Foundation to remain focused on upgrading technical infrastructure to supporting volunteer needs for tool maintenance and metrics. It is the most critical topic for our strategic efforts as we make tangible and practical a mission that calls for our work to continue in perpetuity. The discussions helped confirm that we continue to move more in the right direction.
  • Though technology featured prominently in most of these conversations, there remains no doubt that Wikimedia is a human-led movement. We heard how "It's all about people" and explored even more solutions that can address a familiar dilemma about how to balance the needs of existing editors with initiatives to welcome newcomers. Our human-led values came up in several conversations about Wikimedia's role in shaping the next generation of artificial intelligence.
  • The Talking: 2024 conversations also provided a space for movement entities to share a need for multi-year financial certainty in their support from the Foundation, which we will take into this annual plan. Other conversations highlighted the need to continue prioritizing limited resources and being more explicit about trade-offs.

Finally, the task of defining a Movement Charter came up in several conversations. These ranged from reflections about movement strategy recommendations and principles ("Will it always be first come, first served in this movement?") to questions about the purpose of different structures ("What decisions do we need the global council to make? Why are decisions moving from one center to another?" "We are taking a hammer to solve this issue when they are actually screws."). Unsurprisingly, there were varying perspectives ("The editing community in many regions doesn't see an immediate benefit in affiliates, hubs, or other governance structures." "The community still feels unheard by the Foundation." "The good work that affiliates do in certain regions is commendable, especially where those affiliates are deeply engaged with the community."). And a deep recognition of the complex task at hand ("The community is so huge and it's hard to tie everyone together.")

Our approach to annual planning

Given this context, our approach to annual planning this year remains guided by the following design principles:

  • Anchor in Movement Strategy. Tie to Knowledge Equity and Knowledge as a Service as part of movement strategy.
  • Take an external perspective. Start with: what's happening in the world around us. Look outward. Identify the key External Trends impacting our work.
  • Focus on Product + Tech. Continued focus on the Foundation's role as a platform provider enabling product and technology at scale.
  • Align on four goals year on year. The four goals of the annual plan remain consistent from last year, with work that builds on the previous progress.
  • Take a longer multi-year view. Ground our annual plan in multi-year planning. Consider longer-term trends for our revenue model, tech strategy, and movement roles & responsibilities.
  • Grow funding to movement groups. Funding to movement entities has outpaced the rate at which the Foundation continues to grow.

The Wikimedia Foundation has four main goals for 2024−2025. These big organizational goals have not changed from last year's plan, although the specific work and objectives underneath each goal continues to evolve. (A summary of the Foundations 2024-25 goals is also available in slide form.) These goals are designed to align with the Wikimedia Movement's Strategic Direction and Movement Strategy Recommendations, and to respond to the key external trends shaping our work.

The Wikimedia Foundation's 2024-25 goals are:

  1. INFRASTRUCTURE: Advance Knowledge as a Service. Improve User Experience on the wikis, especially for established editors. Strengthen metrics and reporting.
  2. EQUITY: Support Knowledge Equity. Strengthen equity in decision-making via movement governance, equitable resource distribution, closing knowledge gaps, and connecting the movement.
  3. SAFETY & INTEGRITY: Protect our people and projects. Strengthen the systems that provide safety for volunteers. Defend the integrity of our projects. Advance the environment for free knowledge.
  4. EFFECTIVENESS: Strengthen the Foundation's overall performance and effectiveness. Evaluate, iterate and adapt our processes for maximum impact with more limited resources.

What follows is a snapshot of highlights and progress that we've made on our 2023-2024 annual plan. We continue to share ongoing progress on our annual plan goals on Diff and in other updates.

Progress made on GOAL 1: INFRASTRUCTURE

Progress made on GOAL 2: EQUITY

Progress made on GOAL 3: SAFETY and INTEGRITY

  • EU Digital Services Act: took steps to comply with the new Digital Services Act, an act that went into effect in August 2023 that regulates internet platforms operating in the European Union.
  • Advocacy: educated regulators, policymakers and government leaders about Wikimedia's model
  • Disclosure: met our reporting and disclosure obligations, including publishing a supplemental transparency report
  • Disinformation: supported volunteers and project integrity by mapping anti-disinformation initiatives across the ecosystem; tackled disinformation on the projects in an Anti-Disinformation Repository
  • Volunteer safety: supported community measures for safety and inclusion by working with the Affiliations Committee, Case Review Committee and Ombuds Commission.

Progress made on GOAL 4: EFFECTIVENESS

  • Increased efficiency: we are on track to increase the percentage of our budget that goes to directly supporting Wikimedia's mission (our "Programmatic Efficiency Ratio") through increasing our internal efficiency around administrative and fundraising costs.
  • Additional investment into supporting the movement: this increased efficiency will enable an additional investment of $1.8M into funding in areas like grants, feature development, site infrastructure and more.
