May 12, 2010

- When: Wednesday, May 12, 19:00 UTC (12:00 PST | 15:00 EST | 21:00 CEST) [~90 minutes.]
- Where: On
#wikimedia
, on irc.freenode.net. (Web IRC client)
Topics of discussion
- Commons content
- Is Commons 'just' a backend for projects, or its own curated library? Who is its audience?
- What is the potential harm of hosting controversial images? Are some images directly harmful to some of our audience?
- Do we want all art? Are invitations for image donations awkward because we may delete some of '[institution]'s pics if we don't find them educational?
- Outreach to new audiences
- Being welcoming to different audiences, controversial content
- Possibilities other than curating our collection: (rating, filtering etc)
- Is WMF Outreach to secondary schools well defined, do we know what schools need? Are we clear enough in communicating the nature of materials hosted?
- Is outreach to children appropriate or prudent given the 'not censored' principle? What are the benefits and risks?
- Wikimedia community
- Self-governance of Projects
- Cross-project policies, interproject relations
