Special Projects Committee
Quite recently I have been nominated as an advisor to the Special Projects Committee (SPCom wiki) of the Wikimedia Foundation. It’s nice and I’ll try to be productive and helpful because Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects are very close to my heart.
Special Project Committee goals and aims are:
- Distribution of Wikimedia projects’ content
- Coordination of Wikimedia projects with partner projects to share and connect content
- Coordination of projects between outside agents and the Foundation for technical or financial benefits of parties
- Coordination with other committees and with researchers to promote analysis of the projects and their communities
- Assistance in improving/financing/starting a project proposal
- Evaluation and incubation of other projects, new concepts, new events, and ideas
- Pursuing grants and other funds to develop specific projects within the scope of this committee
- Assisting the Foundation in fulfilling its philanthropic mission of providing free knowledge to people everywhere.
