  • Solve linkrot. Webcitebot2, RfC, IA interest, save WebCite. cf. Perma
  • Support committee-development
    • Review new Project proposals; engage the Sister-Proj committee
    • Support Wikimanias and liaisons over time; Wikimania committee
    • Make the Language committee independent; less overhead
  • Anti-bureaucracy
    • Propose many policies that should be guidelines
    • Add a few AB policies for dispute resolution: jury selection, rotating fiat. Reduce total time spent on drama; allow mistakes (you end up with lots of mistakes anyway; often there are no 'good' solutions)
  • Pro-newbie
    • Add a few AB/Newb policies for protecting newbies: WikiHow has "no deletion for 3 days" and "no templating on user talk pages"
    • Add Teahouse links in the sidebar for newbies (auto).
    • Help newbies cluster by cohort (everyone who joined that week?) with shared updates about one another's work, Newsle style.
  • Simplify permissions. Most people should have most rights.
    • Have a standard adminship process: with revisiting every 2 yrs, a la steward review. Low bar to entry and removal; alignment period w/ active mentorship/review.
    • Have a standard "Requests for Review" queue. Review can lead to "keep, change, merge, delete". Only the last would go to a Delete queue, to decide how to do it.
  • Improve visualization and measurement
    • Improve vis. tools for monitors: make it easy for 1 person to track 1000 contributors.
    • Improve logging of viz-tracking: an important task that should be recognized, enumerable.
  • Drop notability
    • Allow drafts of all topics, notable or not. In a new namespace, or on a new Project. Move the drama about notability into productive energy there.
  • Replicating great ideas and events, across orgs and projects.
