Greg is telling "foundation" people that they need to be transparent with "wiki" people no matter how expensive because "wiki" is the means of the "foundation". Erik replies that his first method of promoting transparency to these people is to promote more of them to volunteer in these issues rather than just comment. Meanwhile, in the ru.WB thread, a "wiki" person explains why he finds "foundation" people to be pesky salesman that would do better to spend their time on wiki work.
I wouldn't read too much into the ravings of a rogue admin - I don't think his views are particularly representative of any significant portion of the community.
This kind of talk isn't at all appropriate. Please keep a civil tongue when discussing issues on any Wikimedia mailing list.
