Wikipedia:Education Board/Suggestions from Working Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


See Wikipedia:Wiki Education Foundation for more current information on the organization that these pages refer to.


Here is a list of some goals from the original Working Group plans, which the group later realized would need input/oversight/implementation from the new organization's board.

  • Engage the Wikipedia-editing community in the final decisions of the Working Group/Initial Board. Keep open channels for feedback with a plan to listen.
  • A proposed 12-month budget that includes staffing, general administrative needs, and project requirements
  • A detailed job description for critical positions that will lead the formation of WEF-USCA; be responsible for full implementation of the strategy
  • A proposed Academic Advisory Council charter and structure that would eventually represent the interests of the wider academic community
  • A proposed student, instructor, faculty, institution engagement methodology
  • A proposed long-term funding strategy to include a list of potential partners in industry and Academia—foundations, large corporations, associations, etc. that might support longer-term funding and marketing requirements.
  • WikiProject engagement
  • Wikipedia Chapter engagement
  • Ambassador engagement
