背景 The history of the Wikimedia Movement officially starts with the creation of the English Wikipedia on 15 January 2001. Other language versions (German, French and Spanish) and sister projects were founded in the following months and years. In 2003, Jimmy Wales announced the creation of the “Wikimedia Foundation”, the official body to maintain and foster the Wikimedia projects. In 2004, the first Board of Trustees was set up and the community elected its first representatives to the Board. In 2004, German Wikipedians founded an association called “Wikimedia Deutschland” to support the local Wikimedia community and to promote Free Knowledge in Germany. The first Wikimedia Chapter was born. Chapters are independent organizations founded to support and promote the Wikimedia projects in a specified geographical region (country). Like the Wikimedia Foundation, they aim to "empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally". 40 chapters currently exist, with at least one Chapter on every inhabited continent. — Wikimedia Chapters from Meta In 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation approved User Groups and Thematic Organisations as additional models of Wikimedia groups. As of July 2014, there are 40 Chapters, 1 Thematic Organisation and 12 User Groups officially recognised as Wikimedia affiliates. Today, almost 500 Million people visit the Wikimedia projects, and more than 80,000 people are actively contributing to those projects every month. 2017年9月7日時点における国別協会。活動中 (紺青色)、承認済み (青緑色)の国別協会、計画中 (緑色) ならびに議論中(水色)。 リンクとドキュメント The following collection of links and documents gives an overview over the context, history and development of the Wikimedia movement. リンク 日付 解説 [1] 06-2003 ウィキメディア財団の創設 [2] 02-2006 チャプター委員会の設立 [3] 11-2007 スー・ガードナーの事務長への任命 [4] 10-2010 Paper “Managing Boundaries between Organizations and Communities: Comparing Creative Commons and Wikimedia” by Dobusch and Quack [5] 2010/11 Movement roles project [6] 03-2011 “Organizational Growth & Development Network” [7] 08-2011 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees letter regarding fundraising accountability (“Haifa letter”) [8] 01-2012 Collection of documents, discussions and decisions about the Fundraising and Funds Dissemination Discussion.
