[http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2003-June/028376.html أعلن رسميا] عن تأسيس مؤسسة و يكيميديا من قبل مؤسس و يكيبيديا [[Board of Trustees#Jimmy_Wales|جيمي واليس]] في 20 يونيو 2003. [[Wikimedia Foundation bylaws|قوانين مؤسسة ويكيميديا الداخلية]] متاحة على الشبكة. |
|||
==ما المشاريع التي تدعمونها ؟== |
|||
تدعم المؤسسة موسوعة ويكيبيديا المشهورة و المصنفة من ضمن أكثر 15 موقعا زيارة في العالم في أواخر عام 2006. منذ تأسيس ويكيبيديا في يناير 2001 و شركة مؤسسة و يكيميديا في يونيو 2003 كان نمونا مذهلا. توسعت و يكيبيديا الإنجليزية، أول مشاريعنا، من 135 ألف مقالة عند تأسيس الشركة إلى 1.5 مليون مقالة اليوم. و 12 نسخة لغوية اخرى تفخر بوصولها لـ 100 ألف مقالة. |
|||
تدير المؤسسة عدة مشاريع أخرى بجانب ويكيبيديا ، مثل ويكيميديا كومنز ، مستودع الصور والميديا الحرة ، والذي تعدى محتواه في نوفمبر 2006 المليون صورة. ويكاموس ، القاموس الحر ، يحتوي على ثمان قواميس بهم 50,000 مدخلة ، وثلاثة من هؤلاء بهم أكثر من 200,000 تعريف. ويكي مصدر ، مستودع المصادر الأصلية ، والذي يقترب من 150,000 صفحة من المحتوى. |
|||
ويكي الاقتباس ـ (الاقتباسات) ، ويكي الكتب(كتب كتبت بالتعاون بين المساهمين) ، ويكي الأخبار(صحافة بيد المواطنين) ، وويكي الجامعة (تطوير منهجي) كل هذه المشاريع تنموا وتكبر في تناسق مميز. |
|||
بنظرة عامة ، مشاريعنا تحتوي على أكثر من 7.8 مليون صفحة ، 2.2 مليون صورة ، وخمس ملايين حساب مسجل. |
|||
ويكي السفر ، ويكي أوميجا وويكيا مشاريع غير مدعومة من قبل المؤسسة. |
|||
المزيد من المعلومات تجدها [[our projects|هنا]]. كمثال ، هذا تقرير [[Danny Wool on Wikisource|عن حالة ويكي مصدر]]. |
|||
==كيف تدار المؤسسة ؟ == |
|||
يدير مجلس أمناء ويكيميديا المنظمة غير الهادفة للربح ويراقب جمع وترتيب وتنسيق التبرعات. مجلس الأمناء هو السلطة المتحدة العليا لشركة مؤسسة ويكيميديا.(المقالة الرابعة ، القسم الأول من [[Wikimedia Foundation bylaws|لائحة مؤسسة ويكيميديا]]). يحظى المجلس بقدرته على توجيه نشاطات المؤسة. |
|||
هذا الموقع يحتوي على قائمة كاملة [[meetings|بملاحظات لقاءات المجلس]] حتى نهاية عام 2005. |

|||
and We also set up a collection of [[committees]] and hired our first Executive Director, Brad Patrick in june 2006. Most of the interaction between board members, staff, committee members, developers and community happens online, on our wikis, on mailing lists, through electronic chat (irc). We however have face to face opportunities, during [[Wikimania]] (our annual conference), during [[Retreat 2006 Board actions and outcomes|board retreat]]s or real life board meetings. |
|||
Much to the amazement of most, we only have one office, located in Florida (USA), where 4 of our employees and 1 board member are working. All other board members or staff work "at home". The [[current staff|staff]] is made of 6 people (end of 2006); however most people helping are volunteers (including board members). |
|||
At the end of 2006, major changes in the organisation took place, with a total of 4 board members in 3 months, change of the chair of the Foundation, set up of an advisory board, bylaw revisions etc... |

==من هم أعضاء مجلس أمناء مؤسسة ويكيميديا ؟ == |
|||
In January 2004, Jimmy Wales appointed Tim Shell and Michael Davis to the [[Board of Trustees]] of the Wikimedia Foundation and later made a call for candidates for community representatives [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2004-March/032501.html]. |
|||
In June 2004, an election was held for two user representative Board members. Following one month of campaigning and two weeks of online voting, Angela Beesley and Florence Nibart-Devouard were elected to join the board. They were reelected the following year in july 2005. |
|||
In July 2006, Angela Beesley announced her resignation and in September 2006, Erik Möller was elected as her replacement. |
|||
In december 2006, the Wikimedia Foundation added two new board members, Kat Walsh and Oscar van Dillen. Tim Shell chose to resign from the board and is replaced by Jan-Bart de Vreede. |
|||
As of january 2007, the list of board members is |
|||
* Florence Devouard |
|||
* Kat Walsh |
|||
* Michael Davis |
|||
* Erik Moeller |
|||
* Jimmy Wales |
|||
* Oscar van Dillen |
|||
* Jan-Bart de Vreede |
|||
Biographies and terms of current board members may be found at [[Board]]. |

==كيف تقوم المؤسسة على خدمة مهمتها ؟== |
|||
First, the Wikimedia Foundation owns the [[m:Wikimedia servers/hardware orders|Wikimedia servers]] along with the domain names and trademarks of all Wikimedia projects and MediaWiki. It generally supports all the costs of having the projects up and in working order.<br> |
|||
''Note: Contributors retain the copyright to their own content and free licenses, such as the [[w:en:GNU FDL|GNU FDL]], are used on these projects prevents anyone from controlling the content.'' |
|||
Besides, the Foundation plays an important innovative part in further developing the projects, connecting people, promoting collaboration with other parties etc... |
|||
In particular, each of [[our projects]] has unique technological requirements, which are met by our small but efficient team of software developers. The highest priority in 2007 will be a renewed focus on quality assurance. This will include mechanisms to identify trusted versions of content such as Wikipedia articles. |
|||
Ensuring success in all endeavors of the Foundation will make it necessary to collaborate with organizations and companies around the planet. Our financial planning includes professional staff who will pursue such strategic partnerships, as well as coordinate our growing network of [[Local chapters|chapter organizations]] in various countries. |
|||
==كيف يتم إدارة الدخل المادي ؟== |
|||
Overall, the lion’s share of WMF expenditures support our programs. Foremost are our expenses for the hardware and bandwidth that keep our websites up and running. |
|||
The single greatest expenditure for WMF is hardware, followed by hosting and bandwidth costs. The WMF has seen its inventory of [[meta:Wikimedia servers|computer hardware]] increase steadily to meet demand. Here is a frequently updated status of this hardware : [[meta:Wikimedia hardware status|Wikimedia hardware status]]. |
|||
The main reason for the increase is our growth in traffic. At the end of year 2006, Comscore listed “Wikipedia Sites” as the number six site in the world, measured by unique visitors (*). Wikipedia, our flagship website, received about 285 thousand page views per minute. The WMF is concerned about the capitalization and operational commitments necessary to keep these systems running reliably. These costs alone will exceed $2.5 million dollars in year 2007.<br> |
|||
(*) Excludes traffic from public computers such as Internet cafes, mobile phones or PDA access. |
|||
Domain registration and trademarks is another part of Wikimedia's expenditures. The Foundation already owns some of its active and secondary/tangentially-related [[w:en:domain names]], while others are still free or already owned. |
|||
Due to the increase in [[current staff|office staff]], administrative costs increased. Overall, however, the allocation of expenses for fundraising is low, due to WMF’s reliance on online donations for the majority of its revenue. WMF does not engage in “direct mail” terrestrial advertising campaigns. Given WMF’s position online, it makes sense to communicate and ask for donations in the same virtual space. To date, it has been effective. |
|||
Costs have been kept very low in the past three years, in particular because the largest majority of people helping are volunteers. |
|||
<!-- |
|||
See also [[meta:Wikimedia budget]] for a detailed list of other potential expenses. See [[budget]] for official budgets. |
|||
--> |
|||
==من أين يأتي المال ؟== |
|||
As of January 2006, Wikimedia is funded in most part through private donations, but also through several grants and gifts of servers and hosting (see [[benefactors]]). |
|||
The WMF receives donations from more than 50 countries around the world. Most of the donations which support WMF come from English-speaking countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia). Over half of these donations are anonymous. Though individual donations are relatively small, their sheer numbers have ensured our success to date |
|||
The Wikimedia Foundation aims to increase revenue by finding alternative means of support, including grants and sponsorship or selling WikiReaders (textbook or pdf version of articles from Wikipedia). There has also been discussion of selling a print version of a significant portion of Wikipedia, such as a "Wikipedia 1.0" project. |
|||
For the time being, we want the Wikimedia projects to remain free of advertisements. |
|||
The Wikimedia Foundation has 501(c)(3) tax exempt status in the United States. Donations made from other nations may also be tax deductible. See [[deductibility of donations]] for details. Please see our [[fundraising]] page for details of making donations via PayPal, MoneyBookers or by postal mail. For all other types of donation, please contact the Wikimedia Board at <tt>board at wikimedia.org</tt>. |

==ما هو المخطط لعام 2007 ؟== |
|||
Wikimedia Foundation continues to grow at an astonishing rate. Its board faces a organizational and financial challenge to maintain Wikipedia a top website on the planet, to also supports the various needs of the other projects, to meet with the ever-increasing demand for the online educational content created by the community of editors and contributors, and to succeed in its goal to make the gift of knowledge to the largest number of people on Earth. |
|||
2006 was very much a transitional year, during which we first created the committees (january 2006). In june 2006, the Wikimedia Foundation hired Brad Patrick as general counsel and interim executive director, where he would oversee its staff and operations and lead the search for a permanent executive director. |
|||
In october 2006, a board retreat was held in Frankfurt, with board members, staff and several community members, to brainstorm on the future of the Foundation [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-October/011172.html]. |
|||
The Wikimedia Foundation announced a reorganisation of its Board of Trustees, with I, Florence Devouard, replacing Jimmy Wales as Chair of the Board [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-October/011196.html], [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/Wikimedia_Foundation_board_reorganised]. One of my biggest focus for year 2007 will be the reorganisation of the Foundation (revision of bylaws, new executive director, expansion of the board, set up of an advisory board, clarification of Foundation and Chapters relationships, improvement of committees...) to ensure the Foundation will make its best to fullfill its mission according to the shared vision [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-October/011200.html]. |
|||
The motto for year 2007 is '''sustainability''' and '''reliability'''. |
|||
We wish to engage board members, staff, editors, committee members, developers, chapter members, to help create not only content, but also to help create a sustainable infrastructure for our projects. Part of this work is on its way and the effort will be pushed further in the coming months. The board retreat in october [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-November/011397.html] was the opportunity to draft a [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Retreat_2006_Strategic_plan strategic plan] and to define a first set of [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Retreat_2006_Board_actions_and_outcomes actions from the Board]. In the next weeks [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-December/011869.html], various steps were achieved such as a [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-December/012070.html first board expansion], the release of [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-December/012087.html audited financial statements], the creation of an [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-December/012107.html agreement between Wikimedia Foundation and chapters)], and bylaws update ([http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-December/012108.html]).. |
|||
Year 2007 will start with a great fundraiser, which will include the opportunity to have donations made to the Foundation matched by generous individuals and companies who support our efforts. With our audit complete, Wikimedia Foundation is now listed as a charitable organization at Guidestar (www.guidestar.org) and its partner sites, which will extend our visibility in the not-for-profit community. |
|||
We'll make you see "what it takes to run Wikipedia for a year". Anonymous visitors will also be reminded that Wikimedia Foundation is a *charitable organization*, something which distinguishes us from the YouTubes and MySpaces spoken in the same breath as Wikipedia as the "Web 2.0" vanguard. We aren't for sale. We can not be bought by a company, any more so than the Red Cross or Amnesty International. |
