Nuestro personal está dividido en tres departamentos de desarrollo: tecnología (operaciones del sitio web, desarrollo de software); comunidad (imagen pública, relaciones con los lectores y programas comunitarios, obtención de fondos) y desarrollo global (programas para promover el voluntariado y expansión mundial de Wikipedia). El resto de nuestro personal trabaja en dirección, finanzas y administración, lo que incluye la protección legal de nuestro trabajo. Además, tu apoyo ayuda a pagar la infraestructura tecnológica que incluye los servidores, transmisión de datos y el hosting de Internet que nos permite mantener funcionando y hacer crecer los proyectos de Wikimedia. Si haces una donación a un [[local chapter|capítulo local]] en tu zona geográfica, esa donación apoya tanto a la Fundación Wikimedia como las actividades de ésta en tu país.

Nos tomamos en serio esta visión. Cada mes, más de {{COMSCORE-UNIQUES|,|million=true}} millones de personas alrededor del mundo ya usan Wikipedia.

Con el apoyo de un intenso proceso de planificación dirigido por la comunidad, en 2010 la Junta Directiva de la Fundación Wikimedia estableció «metas grandes, peludas y audaces» para Wikimedia. Estos [[Media:Wikimedia Five-Year Targets.pdf|objetivos a cinco años]] (PDF) incluyen el aumento del alcance global de Wikimedia a '''nil millones de personas''' y el número de artículos en Wikipedia a '''50 millones'''. También estamos dispuestos a incrementar y diversificar drásticamente la '''participación''', y a medir y mejorar la '''calidad''' de todo el contenido de Wikimedia.

Wikimedia no es una organización común y corriente. Es un movimiento global. La base del trabajo es realizada por miles de voluntarios alrededor del mundo. Esta comunidad voluntaria está apoyada por una red de organizaciones, con la Fundación Wikimedia como su centro, trabajando en conjunto con [[local chapters|capítulos locales]] enfocados en una región geográfica en {{CHAPTER-COUNT}} regiones o países. Es nuestra comunidad voluntaria que nos permite lograr tanto con tan poco.

'''Giving Wikimedia's volunteers the best possible tools to do their work.''' The core technology that makes Wikipedia and its sister projects possible, the wiki, was invented in 1995. Things have changed quite a bit since then. Wikimedia projects run on an open source wiki software called MediaWiki, which we develop and improve. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible to contribute knowledge, and to give volunteers and readers great tools for assessing and improving article quality. In some areas, we lead and innovate. At minimum, we must keep up with key trends in the ever-changing web we're part of. Because our software is open source, everyone can use and improve it.

'''Developing recruiting resources for new volunteers.''' Wikimedia is made of people. To grow our global community, we need to excite people about the prospect of being part of it – and help them with their first steps. To this end, we develop and maintain a library of outreach resources, such as videos and screencasts, but also printed "how-tos" and other more targeted resources (for teachers, librarians, students, and others). See the [[outreach:Bookshelf|bookshelf of outreach resources]].

'''Staging outreach and community events world-wide.''' Once a year, hundreds of Wikimedia volunteers come together at [http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], in a different location around the world each year. (You should come! In Summer 2012 [http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikimania will be in Washington DC, USA].) And, Wikimedia's chapter organizations have staged dozens of additional events, competitions and conferences around the world. Some are targeted at recruiting new volunteers; some give the community space to think about its work, and to do it. Recognizing the value of people coming together because they are passionate about Wikimedia's mission has been key to our success.

Galleries, libraries, archives, and museums protect and make available the world's history, culture and knowledge. Their mission is to serve and inform the public, just like Wikimedia's. We've successfully partnered with cultural institutions around the world – not just in working with them to make digital reproductions available for free, but also in improving Wikipedia articles and other content related to their collections and archives. Wikimedia chapters are playing a lead role in organizing conferences and meetings targeting the cultural sector, and executing partnerships.

Pioneering professors have long assigned Wikipedia writing as coursework to their students. Everybody wins: students get an audience for their work, teachers successfully motivate their students, and readers get better articles. Wikimedia chapters have also reached out to schools to develop media literacy and to promote responsible use of Wikipedia in the classroom.

'''Providing access to Wikipedia everywhere.''' The next billion people to discover the web will do it using mobile phones, some without ever having touched a laptop. We need to make sure that our sites and services work both on modern smartphones and (to the extent it's possible) on lower-end devices. Our current mobile version is a start and we'll continue to improve it (including moving beyond the read-only experience). And for people with no or intermittent Internet access, we're supporting copies of Wikipedia that can be used completely offline, including projects like [http://thewikireader.com/ the WikiReader], offline readers for desktops and smartphones, and printed versions of Wikimedia content.
