Hi.
What is "Community Tech"? How does it differ from the work the rest of the engineering and product team is doing? Are there people working for the Wikimedia Foundation who are doing design and development that is not for the Wikimedia community? That would be pretty worrying.
I looked at https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Staff_and_contractors#Community_Tech and I can't say that I'm very impressed with what I see. Three cordoned off positions, one vacant, to serve the tens of thousands of volunteers that create and build the wiki projects and drive the Wikimedia movement forward? Clearly I'm just misunderstanding, as it would be pretty unimaginable for anyone to seemingly be this insulting.
