However, I have offered in the past to act as a development task coordinator for the Wikimedia Foundation, and that offer still stands.
For what it is worth you have my support. :)
Mine, too, very much so, though that's no doubt worth much less. ;-)
Such a task coordinator would prioritize tasks, maintain contacts to potentially interested sponsors, and make recommendations on spending a certain part of our internal budget on development tasks. He would write the basic specifications, try to locate interested developers (both by inviting them directly, and by having public calls for tenders), watch over the implementation, and decide whether it meets the specs (together with the Board and the MediaWiki Release Manager, Brion Vibber).
Sounds more like a Chief Technical Officer to me.
Chief Software Co-ordinator, perhaps? CTO suggests a hardware role as well (unless that was meant to have been included in the suggested scope, but I don't think it is).
If we can't pay you to do this, then you might as well have a nice title to put on your resume.
Agreed. :-)
