<li>In the short term, we need to help existing and new contributors identify the content gaps on Wikimedia projects, and make their first edits within the existing editorial communities. If we are successful, these contributors will feel confident that they can continue contributing on that topic and change the conversation on Wikimedia projects.</li>
<li>In the long term, we may seek more transformative goals such as: changing the types of sources used on Wikipedia as references; making it easier for a marginalized group to participate in the community (such as closing the gender gap); or shaping public access to knowledge on hard issues.</li>
