Hello Selena,
from my point of view it is important to build trust between the Wikimedia Foundation and
the community. It is great that you mentioned in your email that there are problems
regarding trust into the Wikimedia Foundation of parts of the community at the moment. I
have difficulties understanding where the money raised through small donations is spent
for and I often dont trust the Wikimedia Foundation that the money is spent in an
effective way. So I think I belong the group of people with a at least lower trust level
regarding the Wikimedia Foundation as in general. At the annual plan discussions there is
the possibility to share thoughts about the priorities. I wish a current org chart to get
an overview about who is working for the Wikimedia Foundation or in another Wikimedia
organization on tech related topics. If such an org chart actually exists please share a
link. There are a lot of challenges and I wish you success in your task and I hope it will
be possible to fix some the issues to ensure a secure operation of the Infrastructure of
the Wikimedia projects for the next years.
