Next steps for this Task Force

I just got through reading the content from this Task Force, including all of the chat logs. First, congratulations. You are all making tremendous progress, and I'm extremely psyched about where you are.

There are a couple of next steps I'd encourage you all to think about moving forward:

• Summarize your discussions. It would be useful if some group of you went through the chat log and incorporated them in the appropriate wiki pages. There's tons of good data there, and it would be good to bring it to the forefront. Moreover, I think this will help propel the discussion from this point forward.
• Take a second pass at the Key Questions included in your mandate. How would you answer those questions now that you've taken a deep dive into the issues?
• Be careful to separate the high-level recommendations from the detailed tactical work. For example, your first recommendation is to make the data dumps easier to use, and there are some low-level suggestions on how to do that. I would move the low-level suggestions to a proposal and link to that. The recommendation itself should explain why making data dumps easier to use is a priority, and what sort of impact it would have on fulfilling the Wikimedia vision over the next five years.

Thanks!
