Wikibooks talk:Wikimedia Strategy 2017

The big question that we seek to answer is the following: What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?

Potential ways to think about this question: Examples of summary sentences:
 * What will guide our work together over the next 15 years?
 * What impact or change do we want to have on the world over the next 15 years?
 * What is the single most important thing we can do together over the next 15 years?
 * What will unite and inspire us as a movement for the next 15 years?
 * What will accelerate our progress over the next 15 years?
 * What will we be known for in the next 15 years?
 * “Wikimedia stands for a purity of knowledge and facts, untainted by commercial interests or political agendas, and promotes a knowledge culture of balanced information and cited sources.”
 * “We should explore new kinds of knowledge spaces, embracing innovation in order to survive and thrive in 2030.”

If you have specific ideas for improving the software, please consider submitting them in Phabricator or the product's specific talkpage. To discuss the overall strategy process, see m:Talk:Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017. Other discussions throughout the movement are listed at Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017/Participate.

We want to be the one source that you can find literally anything you want that is trustable.
''The internet is amazing. You can find anything. However, the internet is not reliable, and websites can be hacked, can be closed, or can take a lot of time to find. Wikimedia should be a Google that brings up specific information on topics. For example, if I wanted to look up a species' scientific name, I would find thousands of results from all sorts of sites. However, I do not know what is trustable, and each site offers something different. Finding out all I need to know could take hours, if something like a species name is searched for. Wikimedia could be a source that contains all the information about a subject there is to know.''
