It is great to hear how you are working to learn about
the vast Wikimedia
community, its projects, its priorities and its challenges, Lila.
I'm thinking there's something else that all of us should help you

Great to hearing your experience. As being a new ED too (3 months now) I
can indentify myself with your experience: the first month is about

All the best for what is to come! Hope to meeting you asap!
Hugs from Argentina.

need to find a better way to more fairly allocate
