Hello,
I dont see India Programs Staff being mentioned in this page[1]. Is there a specific reason to it? IIRC number of employees / contractors from this page is important since goes to fundraising appeal numbers. While it is said that 95 staff, am not sure if some there are more are missed out like this. Can someone take it and forward and update. Thanks!

AFAIK, They are Contractors, and not staff as such , due to the absense of legal structure for WMF in India And I believe they will become the staff of India Programme Trust , once it is on wheels (And since India Trust is not an official WMF body, they will not be WMF Staff)

[[Staff]] redirects to [[Staff and contractors]]. So they should be there I guess.
Hoi, There is no reason why people from the India staff should not be on the "staff and contractors" page. As it is only people living in the USA are staff everybody else is a contractor. Thanks, Gerard

There is no reason I am aware of for us not being on the page of WMF Contractors - and this is one of the many things on my (long) to-do list. ...It is also (tragically) dependent on my finding a mugshot of mine where I don't look like I am in a line-up...

which is a nice segue to a question I've had - what is the/are the various Wikimedia presence working out of India ? For example, there's the India Chapter, there's the Trust etc. How do all of them fit together ? I apologize if this is a somewhat quirky question.
hi,
Don't think the role of chapter and foundation needs to be seperately discussed as it's best to leave it from situation to situation. Also, the community has to be proactive and not reactive in our criticism of either.
