Making proposals easier to find / organize / work on

This sounds somewhat confused to me. Obviously it is so that the WMF cannot control what is happening in the various projects, nor should it want to. For many specialist topics it is only possible to contribute for those with a high degree of familiarity to the particular field. There are far too many 'kinglets' running round trying to control matters they know nothing about.

On the other hand the WMF is the only organisation with an overview of the whole thing, and there are some things it should be doing, because nobody else can do them and because they are essential to the central mission. One of these would be to guard against a take-over of a small-language wikipedia by an interest group (big business, religious group, etc) and to ensure that the central policies of wikipedia are emphasized in all the wikipedia's. Equally, if the WMF gets involved with strategy, the only way this will have consequences for the projects is if strategy is implemented top-down. Obviously, instruments for implementation are limited and the WMF should beware of overreaching. Nevertheless ... - Brya 04:49, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
