Hi, this is a very interesting conversation, and I hope the most informative bits are reflected in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design
By the way, we are discussing the use of the term "Design" in the WMF product development process, as a stage involving not only visual/UX design but also architecture, performance, operations... Your feedback is welcomed.

the more you mess around with name changes the harder it becomes for the community to follow who is doing what and why. Thats just for those of us who are english speakers I would hate be someone who doesnt speak english trying to follow the changes

FWIW, Foundation staff members have told me more than once that they don't entirely understand WMF's org chart.
My understanding is that the org chart is missing important pieces like consultants.
Also, some users who are not native speakers of English have commented that the diversity of titles around the organization has caused them uncertainty about who does what. For example, it may not be intuitive to them that a "director" may be above a "senior manager".
Perhaps this is something that Boryana can help with... any comments, Boryana? (:
