I know! In my first drafts of the announcement, I wrote quite a lot
about the Summer of Research and all the insight & intelligence Zack
brought to understanding the Wikimedia community and its internal
workings, as well as the specifics of the editor retention problem. I
took it all out because the note got too long, and was really supposed
to focus on the Fundraising department as well as just Zack. Thank you
for bringing it back up :-)
