Hi Adam -
Thanks for the email - and the idea. Something like this had been floating
around in the back of my head for some time, but I hadn't acted on it yet.
I'm in the middle of a desert for a few more days, but have bookmarked this
to help contribute to when I return. (Unfortunately this is our first
experiment with solar-powered iphones, and we didn't make an array
sufficient to power ours for more than a few more minutes for the day.)
Best,
KG

Pete, thanks for asking, and for your ever toughtful
voice.
About my wiki edits: In my volunteer time, I'm a lurker, hack translator,
fringe developer, and sometimes say obnoxious things on mailing lists or in
this case on metawiki.
About my staff position: I've sent this email from my staff account as part
of my duties to care for the organization that pays for my living, the
WMF. I'm a 75%-time employee in the Fundraising Tech team, currently in
the sheepdog or ill-named "tech lead" role. Great job, aside from the
hierarchical corporate structure that I oppose.
I'm looking forward to the sunshine...
Love,
Adam Roses Wight

Dear Adam,
Here is a sort of meta-request: could you please identify your position
at
Wikimedia?
I will make this suggestion on the page, as one of the very low-hanging
fruit items that will make a big difference: if Wikimedia staff could
make
a regular practice of listing info like their
title, and stuff like user
page and contact info as appropriate, that would make it much easier to
understand and make sense of the huge amount of information coming from
various channels.

There is a lot of room for improving the
WMF's transparency and
accountability to the broader community. Please help identify our
shortcomings by contributing to this page:
