Thank you Bill, I always find organisation charts very much enlightening, and have been missing something like it for the WMF for some time now.
I feel the same. We need much much more of diagramatic content and higher level of organizational understanding for all Wikimedia contributors.
I think all the departments of the WMF-side are equal, right? For instance, legal has no higher 'status' then fundraising or research: employees are equals, just with a different function in the organisation.Therefore all the different departments should be presented in a horizontal line, not a vertical one, like
in this one for example.
Kind of good point, but maybe scale (same size) is enough to represent equals, rather than direction/orientation? Not an expert.
BTW.
.svg file export would be best
for the posibility of translation
within Wikimedia Commons ;-)
Best, Z.
Earlier today I tried to predict what the WMF org chart will look
like, but I wasn't confident about my suggestion, so I created a new
email account, subscribed it to wikimedia-l, and tried to send from
there. I learned that new subscribers are moderated, which seems
sensible given the level of trolling and disruption, and have since
improved the prediction and become more confident about it. I have
since learned that HTML email with embedded email attachments aren't
allowed either, so, Moderators, please reject my earlier anonymous
submission(s).
This is what I predict the Wikimedia organizational chart will look
like in one year's time:

Please critique it! If you are running for the Board of Directors, I
am especially interested in your critique of this prediction.
Thank you!
