Matthias,
Since you presumably have a better suggestion, go ahead and suggest it.
I may have some suggestions, anyone can have one, provided the target is
met.
While you are at it, look into a solution for all the
air transport for even more frivolous objectives, also the land transport. We could do
with a few good workable alternatives for daily commuting. I assume you do not own or use
a private motor vehicle, they are generally less efficient than large passenger aircraft.
Sure, except that one typically count a trip by hours, and hours in an
aircraft consume far more by passenger than the biggest car.
The point is not to wait for "workable alternatives" if there is no
perfect ones, but as far as transport is concerned, to travel less
often, less far, less quickly... or possibly for a longer time.
Also, a lot depends on where the trainers start from.
Wikimedia is a worldwide movement, they do not all have to come from WMF headquarters, and
you appear not to take into consideration the chain reaction effect,
You told it, we may consider that we are very closed to a chain reaction
effect in global warming if nothing changes rapidly.
once there are people in a region with the skills,
they can spread them locally far more efficiently, but somewhere it has to start.
Cheers,
Peter

I like the idea. Once you have worked out how to
do it efficiently, maybe the WMF can send out trainers to places where the skills are thin
on the ground.

Do you mean burning hundreds of litres of jet fuel for one or a few
workshop for an handful of people?
How irresponsible. You may didn't get the emergency of global warming
mitigation.
For the Wikimedia movement, to get organised in a way that lead to drop
the flights needed by 5 or 10 time in the next few years would be only
taking its fair share in the action.
