Connecting goals with Task Force work

That's a lot to chew on, but connecting these recommendations to the goals is very important.

• 3 might seem easy. But we already have a bunch of easy value-statements: "imagine a world where something something something", "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit", and so on. This recommendation only generates value if we have something a little more specific. Otherwise we're just inviting editors to continue bickering and pushing against each other. Re-emphasizing core values is important only if it can actually get people to find a common direction.

• 2 is tricky. Community health discussed this too. But since I took an easy recommendation and made it hard, I'm gonna take a hard recommendation and make it easy: will we let the perfect be the enemy of the good? If so, then let's scrap it. But if we understand that this is an important way to retain editors and create a more harmonious experience, then let's find the best scheme we can, and let editors refine it over time.

• On #1, I agree that we ought to focus more on improving Wikiprojects first. I'm not sure about quality. But in terms of community health, they've been almost universally helpful. There's a lot of scholarship that shows editors are more likely to stick around if they're part of a Wikiproject. That lines up with my experience too. There's a few instances where projects have been hijacked by people with a bias, and they're very hard to remove (Esparanza is the only one, as far as I can remember. But the real issue is getting more people to join.

Hope that helps.
