Could the WMF strategy extend to creating a Death Star to preserve all of human knowledge?

If Sue and Leonie Haimson were mutual co-directors of each other's organization, that would be better than building a Death Star or cloning either individually at this point.

I find it kind of sad to see how this thread after Ting reopened it (surely after careful consideration) morphed into frivolity. So let me say I deeply respect Ting's choice to reapply, and to do so, very on-topic, in the open. That takes courage. I personally think Ting would be a great CEO. It is not our call but I wish the committee all wisdom. Erik Zachte [..]

+1 Thank you Erik. A serious remark on the clone discussion: Instead of trying to copy a status quo I strongly suggest to move on and embrace the idea of something or someone new: change is not always easy - sometimes even scary - but change is inevtiable, necessary and good.

Me too. Wikipedia is what it is through the community, and a CEO well respected in the community who, over the years proved to have handled many situations with care, and involving the relevant stakeholders is, at least imo, the best what can happen to the wmf.
