I don't think that using my Wikimedia address (like I am now) is meant
to create a wall. I just use it because this is my job and I like to
keep my email lives separate. The (WMF) notation is used by employees
to notate that they are an employee and usually used for more
"official" business. The convention is to use a separate account for
personal purposes (like normal editing, instead of something
official).
If you think this is a major problem, these questions are more
appropriate for wikimedia-l as they are not technical and instead
policy :)

community and wmf.
Main difference between volunteers and wmf employees is that they are
paid for they work. I see no reason why someone should highlight that
fact by using wmf e-mail or (WMF) in SUL (it appears as "showing off"
to me more than anything useful) so it seems quite ok to me that they
are using personal e-mails and don't try to be more different from
volunteers.

Hi, is there a policy / recommendation about
Wikimedia employees using
wikimedia.org addesses when contributing code and participating in
community activities as part of their paid work? Or has this topic been
discussed in the past?
I use a personal email dedicated to Wikimedia stuff, sounds to me I can
talk about anything this way without embarrassing the Wikimedia
Foundation for which I am a contractor.
The
wikimedia.org I mostly use it for internal stuff and to write to WMF
employees and contractors.
