The link worked for me, and I found that your ideas mirrored some ideas from the Community Health strategic planning task force.

You are absolutely right, Brandon. This is a systemic problem that has

countless times. If this were a technical problem it would have been

long ago. If it were a problem that the Foundation felt was affecting financial contributions to the Project, it would have been a problem
given a
high priority to solve. Instead, the problem involves people. And the
powers
that be don't seem to know, and are not willing to learn, how to solve
it.
The attitude seems to be, "If a person leaves, there are plenty to
replace
them." There seems to be a high regard for content in the encyclopedia,
but
a very low one for those who create it. This is a recipe for disaster.

I think you're incorrect with this assessment, actually.
I am an employee of the Foundation, and I can tell you that my primary task is solving this problem (the overall "participation" issue, that is). I have several ideas about it and will be rolling up some discussion points in the coming days.
Good, I will be monitoring the process.
