But I'm interested to know if the good people of this list are aware of specific tasks/duties on en:wp that are woefully understaffed at the moment. Things that really need doing.
My current view is that [[wp:1.0]] is really the only taskforce that matters, and there is a huge amount of work to be done there. Clean up the process, improve the selection, review more articles, improve the articles that are going to be released.
When deciding whether it's worth spending money on a part of a business, you have to know what the core business is, and whether the thing is core business, supports core business, or supports something that supports core business... Well, Wikipedia 1.0 is core business. Find stuff that supports that. Fixing a random unsourced fact on a random article is much less useful than fixing an unsourced fact on a TOP rated article which is going to be part of Wikipedia 1.0 (and in particular Wikipedia 0.7)...
