This is not an indictment of volunteers. I believe
that they are the
lifeblood of this organization. At our size, however, we are faced with enormous
responsibilities. All of these efforts at reorganization are attempts to channel
volunteer efforts effectively, so that they can continue doing what they do
best--fulfilling the Foundation's mission statement by creating and
distributing high quality free content resources--while limiting the repercussions
that the Foundation, and by extension, the volunteers, face when things do not
go right. This is something that requires professional legal and financial
knowhow.
Exactly. And while the pool of Wikimedians who can help is large and growing larger, that
pool
will not always have the right mix of skills we need to run the foundation (sic the
oranization
NOT the projects). Thus we will sometimes have to look outside that community to fill
certain
roles within the foundation.
BTW, every board member is also a Wikipedian. :) Some just edit more than others.
