Is there an on-wiki description of the WIR project and its planned outcomes?
I would have thought that to use the term "Wikipedian" for an official
position, that there should be suitable transparency. If nothing else,
this ensures that the Wikimedia community can help make the project a
success.

This was covered by the Associated Press and a number
of other news organizations. According to these stories UC Berkeley is the first US
university to hire a WIR. I've seen WIR positions advertised at other US universities
but this is the first paid position. Congrats to Kevin.

I hope we'll see more universities taking this path. (:
