These days it seems many users learn more about Wikimedia from leaks and reporters than they do through the official channels. Does that form of communication actually turn out to be less costly?
I do not think this is accurate.
I think some people are still a little upset over the whole The Register/Ms. Doran incident. People tend to let the bad things like that leave a lingering sour taste.
Frankly, I'm so happy with the recent upsurge in openness and communication from the board that these past incidents really don't matter anymore.
