I can't understand why résumés from bureaucrats would be requested in

Hi
The author of this email is a relatively new volunteer to Wikipedia,
who has taken on the responsibility of coordinating the CVs. The idea
is to send CVs of staff, i.e., of committed volunteers with some
credentials. This would include the board and developers, but also
prominent users. If anyone is uncomfortable sending this information
to him, you may forward it to me. It may now be too late, though I
still hold out hope, however, it is something that other grants will
want too. I can assure you that I will protect your privacy and
foreward the grants directly to whomever is taking care of the
particular grants in question.
For the record, Alterego has told me that he is an American citizen
living in Italy and that he is a journalist. From his impeccable
English and his IP, I have no reason to doubt this, though I can
understand people's reluctance to give personal information away so
quickly.
In the event that this information is needed for other grants, you
will be asked again in each instance whether you mind having your name
attached to the grant.
Thanks,
Danny
Relatively new is an understatement, given the contribution history. I'm
willing to suspend my suspicions about Alterego having ulterior motives
for collecting this information, but I still would recommend that anyone
who submits such information send it to Danny, not to
"reflection(a)gmail.com".com".
In general, as the Foundation acquires personal information about
various contributors that they haven't made publicly available on the
wiki, we need to be sure that information is kept separate and not
disclosed to anyone inappropriately.
