Conclusion

Assessing Partner Requests Besides the specific questions we ask of our partners that depend on the type of partnership we have with them (see Data Partnership Scenarios and Way of Working above), we require some general information from all of our partners. These are some of the questions we ask. Alignment Strategic & product fit: Do they match our strategic vision? Do their needs match our middle- or long-term product plans? Cultural & ethical fit: Are our visions of the world aligned? Is the partner passionate about increasing access to knowledge? Impact Ecosystem impact: Can they and will they grow the ecosystem as a whole? Technical Capacity Technical expertise: Do they have sufficient technical support to undertake such a project? How much help will they need from us to set up and run their Wikibase instance? Technical resources: Do both sides have the people, software, hardware and knowledge to proceed with this project?
