Скачать или смотреть Wikimedia Sister projects: the past, present and glorious future |

For the last 15 years, the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects (also called Sister projects - like Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikiversity, etc.) has seen very few changes: only a few projects have been created, and none has been phased out, even though many proposals for new projects have been presented, and some ideas for changes in existing ones have been voiced.

In 2023, the Board of trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation is beginning to discuss this topic, with the goal of setting up processes for reviewing new project proposals and monitoring existing ones.

This session will be a group discussion aimed at collecting ideas for the work of the Sister projects task force. It will be introduced by a short (~10 minutes) presentation about the process.

In this session we will discuss and collect ideas about the lifecycle of Wikimedia Sister Projects, including:
What should be the criteria for creating a new Wikimedia project?
What do we expect from a Wikimedia project? And what kind of support and resources should a Wikimedia project expect?
When a Wikimedia project is considered successful?
What should be the criteria for closing an existing Wikimedia project?

The discussion will inform the work of the Board of trustees’ Sister projects task force.
