| Yet-to-be-reached communities and individuals: Remove all barriers that we can control. Engaging with our projects can be daunting and is possibly too complex for many people. While this may be appropriate for some content creation, complexity should not prevent individuals from accessing and assimilating the body of free knowledge that we maintain and defend. In order to remove those barriers, we need to understand specific difficulties experienced by people who are currently unable to participate, at every audience and interest level. | access, participation, research | Wikimedia Foundation staff | Access, Outreach, Awareness | A Truly Global Movement |

| Wikidata as it is is not a solution. Editors have to update the data there as well. So in the end we need an automatic input of data. I don't know if Bots will write Wikipedia in 2030, but as it is now with the disappearance of just 1 important editor all falls apart regarding the up-to-dateness of certain topics. I don't believe in another boom of editors such as we had in 2006. Either we get more productive and efficient or we become irrelevant.

| Although Wikipedia is the main and the most recognisable project of Wikimedia Foundation, [we] should recognise the identity of other Wikimedia projects, features of their development and their data usage. Doing this will help to decrease the prevalence of the thinking pattern ‘wiki = Wikipedia’ and [should help?] the other projects to develop as completely different areas of focus. The rules, principles and problems of Wikipedia shouldn’t be arguments for touting some actions in other Wikimedia projects.

Searching for a headquarter outside the US (Silicon Valley is too expensive and they don't get good employees there because the competition from Google, Facebook and Apple is too big). It has been proven by Wikidata that there are better locations for software providers) A chance for growth for regional and thematic organizations including their own fundraising or fundraising done by WMF for them MediaWiki should be entirely open Any change or extension of software should only be done by approvement and demand by the community only. Democracy. All supervisory positions shall only be appointed by editors, not by 3 people alone. All 10 of them and no guaranteed position for Mr Wales. No more Lex Jimbo, unblocking of Russavia Stop the distribution of assumptions regarding the ration of Women articles and the percentage of female staff. Conduct studies and work with acutal figures and not with guessed assumptions. The problem we have is not the number of articles about women but the quality of these articles. All activity here is just about quantity, not quality. Stop obsessively searching for new editors. If you lay the right foundations here they will come by themselves automatically. All effort in this direction did not yield any result until now. The activities until now were rather counterproductive. No more faster-higher-stronger when evaluating projects from volunteers. We are the ones who are financing their jobs. A central dictum is that WMF and its associated organizations exist for us, not the other way around. WMF has to learn that there is more than en.wikipedia and the US and we're not a US chapter. You cannot address us with this sickly sweet politically correct lingo that your US employees are used to. |

| The problem is the balance of "leftist" and "rightist" editors. "Leftists" tend to work fast but they are quite often very chaotic, "rightist" think very long before they start doing anything - they are perfectionist. At the beginning of the Wikipedia the majority of users were "leftists", but many impatient ones left Wikipedia for other faster social media sites such as Facebook. It wasn't bad as it helped to better structure Wikipedia and make it less chaotic, however now the "rightist" users are slowly leaving the project as well and the new ones "leftist" make turn Wikipedia into chaos. Therefore there should be a delicate balance between those 2 groups, and if moved in one or another direction it may means the death of the project. So - what we should do is to nurse this balance - help find newbie "leftists" when there are too many "rightists", but also take care of "rights" when there is too many "leftist" approaching too fast. | Community balance, stability and rules vs chaos. | Polish wikipedia Facebook group | Health | Healthy, Inclusive Communities |

Data, lists and indexes that formerly were available under a free license and that became commercial. For start ups and the sharing community it get increasingly difficult to get acess to information without being forced to cooperate. Wikipedia could be a counterpart to that.

Make Wikipedia social media-friendly in order to reach a new, wider audience. Admins should not hold all the important user rights on Wikipedia, revision and deletion authorities should be granted to other experienced users. Stop creating new language projects (e. g. Egyptian Wikipedia), as they are wasting so much energy while serving very little of an audience. Offer paid salaries to some contributors as an encouragement (just as famous users on Youtube profit from their channels so that they thrive to improve their videos). Add a tool to support formal communication with outside entities, like universities or important people, in order to verify information on Wikipedia.
