What impact would we have on the world if we follow this theme?

[edit]
we could be a repository for images around the world, and model how to show good metadata scholarship. Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge

How important is this theme relative to the other 4 themes? Why?

[edit]
most important - culture eats strategy for breakfast. without a healthy community, you will not be able to implement other goals. Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge

Focus requires tradeoffs. If we increase our effort in this area in the next 15 years, is there anything we’re doing today that we would need to stop doing?

[edit]
we will have to give up being right all the time; we will have to give up biting people in an unhealthy way; we will have to give up exclusivity of "not invented here club". we will have to give up prioritizing vandal fighting and copyright wars. Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge
There are only limited posibilities of steering the tradeoffs. First and foremost the contributers have to have an interest in the subjects. I have no problems if some, for me ´trivial´ subjects are are expanded, if they are well maintained and there is some verification from other authors and correctly sourced. No harm is done and it keeps contributors motivated. They mostly also work on other mainstream subjects.Smiley.toerist (talk) 22:31, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What else is important to add to this theme to make it stronger?

[edit]
a code of conduct; a standard of practice. Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge

Who else will be working in this area and how might we partner with them?
