Main Page

Welcome to Meta-Wiki, the global community site for the Wikimedia Foundation's projects and related projects, from coordination and documentation to planning and analysis. Other focused meta-wikis such as the community grants and strategy wikis fall within the scope of Meta but were at times broken out into a new wiki for various reasons. Other related discussions take place on Wikimedia mailing lists (particularly foundation-l), IRC channels on freenode, individual sites of local Wikimedia chapters.
