| My candidate statement | For a while, it has been my opinion that the most difficult challenges facing Wikimedia - those caused by "scaling" of projects to a far larger user base, particularly in the case of the English Wikipedia - will be the issues most crucial in the long-term.
Those challenges I believe we are seeing now; an increased amount of recourse to organised dispute resolutions, community schisms relating to policy and process, inefficiency in authority structure, financial constraints, and site technical issues. Communication with the communities of Wikimedia projects has also been very far from optimal. All these problems need solutions, and need solving rapidly to ensure the continued success of Wikimedia's projects. These are among the many challenges that I wish to take up. I seek to be of service to Wikimedia projects to the best of my abilities, and thus, I hope I shall have the opportunity in 2007 to make a difference. |
