Talk:Wikimedia Summit 2020/Program

From Talk:WikiProject remote event participation#Wikimedia Summit going virtual

I propose we hold an unconference in two phases: in phase one we propose and dot-vote on topics. Except unlike a physical unconference with an agenda set by dot-voting, we just keep adding threaded comments to our original dot-votes, and then in a much later phase two for wikis, the proposals are re-sorted from from chronological by order of submission to number of comments received, or a combined measure of that and some other quality score(s)? That would be compatible with all four criteria on Wikimedia Summit 2020/Program Design Process.

Example:

== Welcome to the wiki-unconference ==
Please propose topics as follows:
=== Proposal 1 === <!-- Use title phrases instead of "Proposal 1" -->
Proposal descriptions here.
* Proposal !votes here....
:: Proposal discussion here,
or here.
==== Sub-proposal 1.1 ====
....
===== Action: item 1.1.1 ===== <!-- Replace "item 1.1.1" with title -->
....
=== Proposal 2 ===
....

There is a "virtual dog show" example at Talk:WikiProject remote event participation#Concrete example. EllenCT (talk) 18:24, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Dear @EllenCT::

Thank you very much for your proposal! However, the Wikimedia Summit is not an unconference, it has a specific focus: The Movement Strategy Process. At the moment, we are working on a design for a virtual Wikimedia Summit a long the lines of the previously planned (physical) Wikimedia Summit. I hope to have more information by early next week.

@Cornelius Kibelka (WMDE): understood. You can still use the same asynchronous format by filling out the top level with discussion topics instead of proposals. I am sure you have something more elaborate planned, and I look forward to seeing it. EllenCT (talk) 19:04, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
