Also in the long run I hope that the Wikimedia Foundation and our volunteer community will emerge strong, resilient, healthy, and vibrant.
I've not always agreed with you, Pine. Not often, in fact.
But in this I think you will find broad agreement and a strong rallying cry.
I think staff and volunteers will always be a little at odd with each other - even as they are part of each other. I wore both hats, in a way even before I was staff - and will always be a little of both even when not employed by the WMF. But, in the end, we're just working different tacks to the same heading.
Regardless of how this resolves - and it /will/ resolve - the movement will perdure and we'll forge on because we all share that vision.
