Task force/Community Health/Recommendation evaluation

    From Strategic Planning
    • Final Goal: The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has requested 2-4 specific recommendations on Community Health for January 12, 2010.
    • Interim Target: By December 17, we narrow this list down to four broad areas (ideally), or more (realistically). Table is a guideline to help us evaluate.
