About the FoundationThe Wikimedia Foundation is a non-profit organization registered in the USA, hosting websites known as the "Wikimedia projects", including Wikipedia and Wikinews, as well as this website, Meta-Wiki. The Wikimedia Foundation is governed by Board of Trustees. It has about 10 paid staff members but that number is growing. Since January 2007, the Wikimedia Foundation has its office in San Francisco, USA. Its former headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida was closed on January 31, 2007. Official information about the Foundation may be found at the Foundation website: wikimediafoundation.org.
Organization
Meetings
The board regularly has meetings to discuss the various issues listed on the Board agenda. Most board meetings are done on IRC, though a few have taken place in real life. Some meetups are restricted to board trustees, others may welcome editors as needed (such as one or more officers) or groups (such as entire board of local chapters) or be entirely open to anyone. This is mentioned on the board agenda where future meetups are announced.
Notes of meetup (and sometimes full logs of discussion) may be found on Wikimedia Board meetings.
Channels of discussion
The Wikimedia Foundation is managed thanks to the use of
Meta-Wiki for discussion and organisation of all public issues. This wiki is entirely public and editable by everyone and is also multilingual.
wikimediafoundation.org is the official website of the Foundation. This wiki is entirely public, but access is only granted by board members to trusted members of the community. We try to translate pages in several languages. Feedback about this website may be offered on the Meta-Wiki at the Wikimedia site feedback page.
internal-l is a non public mailing list, with access restricted to board members and officers.
private-l is another private mailing list may also be used to discuss technical issues among the Foundation.
Channels of communication to be added (OTRS, Quarto).
