It is great to hear how you are working to learn about the vast Wikimedia
community, its projects, its priorities and its challenges, Lila.
I'm thinking there's something else that all of us should help you
celebrate as well: after only a few weeks on the job, being named to the
Forbes list of the 100 most powerful women:
That's a great start.

Great to hearing your experience. As being a new ED too (3 months now) I
can indentify myself with your experience: the first month is about
listening and getting to know :)
All the best for what is to come! Hope to meeting you asap!
Hugs from Argentina.

Thank you for this write-up. It was nice to read. :-)
Your recommendations on areas you see as
priorities for development
(while keeping in mind that not everything can be a priority at
once!); [...]
I think this continues to be a huge pain point. Developer resources are
scarce and expensive and there's often a feeling that the latest
Wikimedia
Foundation initiatives trump all other worthwhile
projects. I think we
need to find a better way to more fairly allocate resources.
As a concrete example, there continue to be dozens of Wikimedia

as

has
become
mildly insulting. These projects are more accurately the
red-headed
stepchild projects.) This won't happen
quickly, but we must make it a
goal
to do better in this area.
