Hi Nathan, there was some discussion about this around the most recent Annual Plan. While I think we need to make sure that hiring is aligned with needs and strategy, the personnel issue that worries me the most is the active editor decline. We may wish to address both of these issues in the new strategic plan.

Thanks Garfield.
The annual plan has a nice representation of staffing growth in the last 5 years. In 2009-2010, the WMF had 50 employees. In this fiscal year it anticipates having 240. The staff expense went from 2.2m in 2009 to nearly 20m in the recently ended year, and surely much more for the current one. Whatever questions or conclusions you can draw from that, it is a mind-boggling growth rate for a non-profit company. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
