- What will funding models look like?
- What does ecosystem and related projects look like?
- We have a big goal now -- are other big goals related? How to break it down / build it up?
- Compare growth of WM as an idea with that of the Red Cross, the university system, the Peace Corps.
- How do we develop the support for Free Culture needed to make parallels to WP last?
- Consider what foundations (C, MA, Kn) and individuals (C, F, R) have done. How does the change of publishing and news impact this?
- How do we build identity and commitment to values through the use of the site? From visual id to slogans to other bits around it?
How can we reflect on the past 3-5 years to extract relevant steps in the above? What sorts of thoughts about 2025 make sense?
Discussions underway
