I will be happy to learn of any specific and measurable new goals WMF has
for movement communications and specific plans for how those goals will be
achieved. I agree that vague statements about improved communication are
insufficient.

I take your point Pine, but "improving
communication with the community"
seems to have been a WMF priority for as long as I can remember, yet there
doesn't seem to have been any consistent improvement, as we can see here.
A new approach and direction to how matters like this are communicated is
clearly needed, because the current one doesn't seem to be working at all.
Cheers,
Craig

Sigh. Decisions being made behind closed doors
and then being announced
much later than they should have been is a bit of a WMF pattern that I
would like to see addressed. My understanding is that Lila is putting
some
emphasis on improved communications in Q2, and I
would be interested in
seeing some specific measures put in place to address the kind of
situation
that seems to have happened again here.
