G1 Develop Open Content
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)
G2 As a volunteer-led organisation, ensuring effective use of the resources available to us
G2.1 Develop, involve and engage WMUK volunteers
G2.2 Use best practice governance and resource management processes
G3 Reduce barriers to accessing Open Content
G4 Encourage and support technological innovation
'supporting Technical Communities' and 'increased awareness of the benefits of Open Content'
Some of the external communities we work with aren't strictly technical (e.g. Open Rights Group) and it's still an important area of our open knowledge work. I suppose a clarification is needed where in G4.1 we are focusing on technology development, and there is another area where we link with other groups to further open knowledge aims.
