		<description><![CDATA[Brianna: I agree, the choice of the names hasn&#039;t been easy. Our articles are really all &quot;Foundation news&quot;, so we decided not to use that name. Perhaps we could have a &quot;Main blog&quot; separate from &quot;Highlights&quot;, but some thought it might be confusing.

About &quot;Global&quot;: the names basically reflect the way the Foundation is structured: with a Tech department, a Community department, and a Global development department. The latter encompasses activities like the India and Brazil initiatives, Mobile strategy, Business and Wikimania. It&#039;s difficult to find another word to describe all these activities (&quot;Regional&quot; wouldn&#039;t fit with Mobile, for example), so in the end we stuck to the name of the department.

Rob: Thanks for adding that. I&#039;ll mention it in the monthly engineering report as well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey Guillaume, nice work. The more blogging, the better :) This blog is almost becoming a &quot;planet&quot; in its own right!

However I find the names a little odd. I would expect &quot;Highlights&quot; to be a selection from the other categories, rather than a category in its own right. &quot;Highlights&quot; should perhaps be called &quot;Foundation&quot;. A real &quot;highlights&quot; category is a good idea too though. &quot;Community&quot; is great (I imagine/hope you would also accept posts from community members on occasion).

Finally &quot;Global&quot; is quite odd, creating a separate category for it implies that some things that Wikimedia does are _not_ global, which... doesn&#039;t make sense to me. It also implies there are some things that are &quot;local&quot; which again, maybe WMF is in the US, but since Sue has been at the helm I have always found the Foundation to really embrace a global attitude.

So maybe, more accurate would be &quot;Chapters&quot;, Wikimania stuff could go under &quot;Foundation&quot; or &quot;Community&quot; (or a new category &quot;Events&quot; could be cool - could include GLAM stuff too), as for &quot;Business&quot;, I am not sure what that would constitute [and if anything was the opposite of &quot;global&quot; my guess is it would be business dealings], but I guess it could also go under &quot;Foundation&quot;.

Anyway there&#039;s my nitpicks :)]]></description>
