Hi all! A summary of what was discussed in our November Commons Community Call on Content organization is now available in one of the project's subpages.

You can have your say in the summary's talk page or in the project's talk page. We listen to what you have to say, so every piece of advice is important!

A very brief summary of what we talked about
In summary, the main question explored in these calls was whether the Wikimedia Foundation should continue to develop structured data, or make the category system multilingual and easier to use. In both calls, there was broad agreement that we shouldn’t maintain two essentially separate systems. There was a preference by the people who intervened for developing structured data, tempered by an awareness that the community has been using categories for so long that any switch would require a lot of technical and social commitment.

To read the full summary of the call, please refer to the appropriate subpage.

Next steps and upcoming conversations
We are working on the summary of our December conversation about new media and new contributors, and we hope to publish that in early January. You will be alerted in time when this happens.

Also, there will be another two rounds of conversations on January 15 and on February 5, at 08:00 UTC and 16:00 UTC. You can subscribe to the events by going to the Commons Community Calls project page and clicking on the relevant link (you'll be redirected to the event on Meta).

I hope to see you at the next calls, or to read you on wiki pages!
