The Wikimedia Movement Strategy recommends that we manage internal knowledge. It asks us to make the internal knowledge of our movement easy to capture, discover, consume, and adapt by all contributors to facilitate sustainability and resilience, individual and organizational skill development, and growth in an equitable way across all communities. The development of this timeline is an effort to enhance documentation of the Wikimedia Foundation's story. We are providing it as a supplement to the growing array of materials continuously under development which document the 20+ year Wikimedia story.
Given the interconnected nature of the Wikimedia Movement, it is likely that entries on this timeline will appear in other timelines. That is okay! It is important to document all aspects of our collective story. Over the coming months and years, we will continue to look for opportunities to further these documentation efforts, including ways we can use the knowledge gathered via this timeline. If you have ideas for how this timeline could be used or distributed, please let us know.
If you have ideas on what other efforts to help share the Wikimedia Foundation story, please feel free to share them with us via this timeline's talk page or email (answers
