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. :-)
