This page outlines the roadmap for the development of the Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki.
Background
The original roadmap for the Governance Wiki was developed based on feedback from the Wikimedia Foundation's internal On-wiki documentation working group, convened in late 2016.
As of February 2023, the Strategic Projects Incubator within the Wikimedia Foundation Communications department's Movement Communications team has taken on completing the transition and initial development of this wiki in preparations for hand-off to its long-term caretaker.
Since 2016, this effort has been coordinated by Gregory Varnum.
