Well, folks are free to ignore invitations to comment;
there are indeed a
lot of discussion notices for various matters, so I don't blame them if
they world rather volunteer their time in other places.
But they cannot then also argue that they didn't
know about it. If people
want to know what's going on in our projects, it's their responsibility to
follow places where announcements are posted and read them.

Really? As a Community Organiser within the Community Engagement part of
the Foundation, do you not believe that the Foundation has some kind of
responsibility too? Perhaps the Foundation, with its tens of millions of
dollars and hundereds of staff, and its ownership and control of the means
of communcation, might consider whether it can organise its engagement with
a disparate community on a more sophisticated basis than telling the
volunteers that it's their responsbility to know how to engage effectively
with the Foundation? Let me ask to to reread your comments from the point
of view of a volunteer whose work builds the projects and ask yourself
whether the attitude embodied in your comment is not just ever so slightly
sub-optimal? Are you completely satsifed that there is nothing at all that
the Foundation could or should do to improve the engagement it has with the
community?
