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 :).

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
Peace,
