Well, thank you.
More than of the quotes were either above the price range we had in mind or at the high end within the range. The price range we had in mind was $2,500-$3,000 for five to six people. (Additional desk is for a visiting staff from the WMF) There are a few quotes which came below the range, but the space either lacked a meeting space, lacked infrastructure like LAN, or required public transportation from the WMF office. The lease term with Wikia is $2,500 per month, month-to-month. The budget allows us to invest more fund for the space, but we would like to spend the gift prudently. It is always better to set aside funds so that we can invest in reusable tools such as automation of test tools and have ability to expand scope of usability test and product improvements.
Sounds good. Thank you.
Thank you for helping me understand this decision.
You are very welcome. Do you think we are CIO ready if the WMF were U.K.-based entity? :-)
I would need to review the legislation. This kind of deal certainly wouldn't be recommended, but it's probably legal.
