Yes, but that's because they have money rolling in to fund the physical and legal move. And I'm sure there's different things involved with a charity and what essentially is a small business.
Wikia is incorporated in Delaware - it doesn't mean the office needs to be there.
Is it really sensible to be looking for more staff in St. Pete when most of the people who used to be based there now aren't? Last time I was in the office, it was inhabited by Jimmy, Michael, Terry, and Danny. Michael and Terry now work from home. Jimmy is usually travelling and rarely in that office. That just leaves Danny, who only moved there because the office was there, and Carolyn and whoever joined since. I know Brion is moving there, but again *because* the office is there, so that's not a reason to keep the office there. Unless Wikimedia becomes more accepting of remote working, I think it is disadvantageous to keep it based in St Pete, especially now the search for a CEO is on.
