Pine: Why do you think the solution lies with the Wikimedia Foundation?

My point is more or less the same one that you're
making. Communications
(too much and too little) and information overload are both challenges. I
don't think there's going to be a silver bullet solution, but I hope that
WMF will invest effort into addressing this set of problems during the next
Annual Plan. Some of this is WMF-specific, but some of it also relates to
how we've organized ourselves in the community through organic growth and
over time we've developed so many channels that one wonders if we would
benefit from some consolidation and pruning.

You mean, "how to deal with people who
complain they weren't consulted
then turn around and complain they were excessively consulted"? At
this point, the appropriate thing would be to put forward a plausible
solution rather than complain they did the thing you claimed they
hadn't sufficiently done.

Chris,
That last paragraph assumes that people (1) know where to look and (2)
have
hours to spend watching countless channels for
announcements. On the

is
part of a
larger set of communications and "information overload"
problems
that I'm hoping that WMF will address,
particularly during its next
Annual
Plan.
