Hoi,
The most important thing about the board and the WMF is that they enable
what we do. The dependence on them delivering services that are of a high
quality is something they deliver. At the same time there is a coterie of
"Wikipedians" that want to remake the WMF in their own image. They have
proven not to be interested in our projects really. They have been
challenged to consider practical things that will deliver much better
quality for Wikipedia but it proved not to be what they are interested in.
Arguably there is a crisis. But the crisis has less to do with the WMF than
with some in the community. They call themselves the community. IMHO they
are malcontents; they have no agenda but single issues that will not help
us achieve what the WMF is about.
Thanks,
GerardM
