Hi everyone, great to see you here for the latest news. So what happened so far in August?
How about a new owner for MicroWiki? (That’s me in the picture yes). During the han(g)(d)over weekend at the Micro Euro Summit, Luxor, Fabian and myself had very long interesting talks about MicroWiki.
After months of preparation I took over ownership of MicroWiki. After the decision was made by Luxor, I started with 1v1 videocalls with as many admins and moderators as possible to get as much info as possible before I would take ownership. And during those calls I’ve created a priority list using their feedback, concerns and irritations around the site and discord.
But what were some of the things I’ve done so far after I took ownership on the 1e of August?
- Create this blog that you’re reading now so you can receive updates, news, announcements. etc.
- I dismissed the foundation so that it’s members could have a nice break, it’s holiday season off course.
- Re-building the foundation as a board of directors with people that have different expertise’s to create a solid base of experience to execute the long term vision that I’ve planned out during those months. The newly formed foundation will be installed at the first of September. And legal matters for registration as a non-profit will be investigated.
- The site is being relocated in the EU so the more known European laws apply now.
- I’ve build up a year schedule that every team member will be able to follow. (more on that in a new post)
- Give specific tasks with deadlines to admins/mods to set certain things in motion for the long term.
- Start a MicroWiki Codex that will be made public in time. It contains all the important info in 1 document instead of many different pages. For example. A clear stance on GDPR, ban policy, the foundation etc.
- Run a survey to the whole MicroWiki team to set the right priorities to deal with and to get even more feedback after the 1v1 videocalls. (The results will be published in September.)
- Also helping out people with some account and article issues, with a videocall if needed.
I’ve probably forgot some minor things but they will come out in the end.
So what’s next?
- Analysing the results of the survey of the complete MW team, and publish them here on this blog.
- Execute a prioritised action list based on those results.
- Publishing more information about the first community theme. World Cleanup Month for September.
- Get back on the current running tasks by various admins and rework them where needed.
As always, if you feel the need to share anything, send me a dm on discord and I’ll reply as soon as possible. I’m even thinking about a AMA session on discord, that should be interesting 🙂
See you soon for a new update!
