Thoughts
In 2013–2014 we are working on growing (more partners, bigger community), diversifying (different types of partnerships), and infrastructure (measuring outcomes, data storage mechanisms, organizational structure, strategic planning). Next year should focus on taking this built-up capacity and working to institutionalize the Wikimedia movement in the DC area through collaborations that improve Wikimedia projects, facilitated by dedicated fellows. The work of these fellows will provide valuable insight for the rest of the movement.

Wikipedia Workshops
- Emily is coming to DC in September to train people how to host Wikipedia workshops. We will have workshops based on this model and compare them to traditional edit-a-thon format.
- Wikipedia for Activists
Volunteer training
