IT Development/Launchpad

This is a proposed policy that has not yet been approved. Please offer any feedback on the talk page.

Objectives

• Wikimedia UK would like to make a positive impact on the success of the Wikimedia mission through the targeted use of its resources to support technology projects.
• It would also be useful for the charity to cultivate an evidence basis of the positive impact it can make, in order to galvanise both volunteer and institutional support. Wikimedia Deutschland provides one example of how this process can work.
• However, it will be necessary to balance the charity's long term ambitions with its short term resource constraints in a way that maximises value for money but does not appear to mislead or otherwise treat stakeholders unfairly.
