Hmm, I'm not sure that I'd agree that everything that WMF does has a community aspect. There's been a lot of discussion about readership that to me seems primarily concerned with fundraising and only secondly concerned with recruiting new contributors
I am not a big fan of taking threads off topic, but on the point of readership, supposedly readership has a wide spectrum, expanding from random users who pass by, to engaged readers, to those avid readers/random contributors who could possibly become more regular editors, even if that shift doesn't always happen by default. Point is, readership might not be an evil notion that distracts us from recruiting new contributors, it is just one step on the road. And we can of course disagree on that :).

What is "Community Tech"? How does it differ from the work the rest of
the
engineering and product team is doing?
Yes, everything WMF does has a community aspect (except facilities?), so it's tricky to know when to highlight it. And "community" is an
open-ended
pluralistic term, like "User" or "Open". It's reasonable to want teams to be more specific, give them a little more time as we work through the reorg.
I'm forming an Open Community Core Engagement team, dedicated to experimenting on wiki users. <-- joke, I kid
