I don't agree with Romaine's view that it is a cultural problem, but it is true that the WMF management seems to prefer to have all development concentrated in SF.
Hardly. About half of WMF's engineering staff is distributed (both inside and outside the US), and we've encouraged and supported software engineering efforts by chapters. [...]
So, which other chapters are up for building out serious software engineering capacity?

Why should it be chapters? Anyway, being able to disband the SF office as regards software development (and perhaps more), and switch to remote work only, would probably be the single most effective measure for enhancing communication and cooperation in the movement.
