Principles

Glossary

For inclusiveness and easy accessibility of our movement resources, grants, technical know-how, information and documentation for partnerships, skills sharing, advocacy, the movement has urged for centralized platforms that share the information in one place supporting pluricentric languages along with English. With surveys of missing knowledge and focussed efforts to make this knowledge easily accessible, communities can navigate in a single space to find support needed for the development of their projects.

Matching human assets and online knowledge resources

  • Empower movement leaders with skills for scaling the capacity building in different regions about partnerships and organization governance.[1]
  • Develop a central repository of reports & learning experiences, information and skill sharing to facilitate simpler accessibility for the advocates.[2]
  • The news, posts and blogs should be made available with pluralistic approaches to languages and cultures.[3]

Knowledge Management

  • Creating of a worldwide database that can allow Wikimedians to do knowledge sharing in different thematic areas.[4][5][6]
  • More investment needs to be done in sharing knowledge about partnerships across the movement by creation of a central portal addressing community for mentorship over existing initiatives and actions, and the skill sharing for different projects.[7]
  • Creation of regional survey of the missing knowledge base and gaps around existing partnerships in the movement.[8]
  • Movement initiatives and documentation should be done keeping in mind pluricentric languages to ensure diversity of regional languages equally for better inclusion.[9]
