G1 as currently phrased seems primarily focused on digital media acquisition – the points that stand out to me are "uploading of new content", "relationships with content-holding organisations that might be persuaded to release educational material", "organisations who need support or advice for the release of Open Content".
But the people and organisations that outreach efforts are aimed at hold human knowledge as well as copiable digital content. Part of what WMUK does is to build relationships with the people who possess that knowledge, so that some of that knowledge can be reflected in Wikimedia projects – witness the points listed here, which speak of outreach to universities and educational institutions, outreach to underrepresented social groups, as well as outreach to scientists, scholars, learned societies and funders to help experts improve targeted content areas of Wikipedia and its sister projects.
I would like to see these latter points fleshed out and emphasised a little more: it's not just about getting data from outreach partners, it's about actively involving them. Andreas JN 20:55, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
