I think this would be funnier if the Wikimedia Foundation weren't already
involved in so many brain-dead projects. Half-assed and half-baked efforts
do distract from the projects that show actual potential. Or alternately,
the projects that show potential are pushed aside for the projects that make
headlines.

Instead of doing a few things well, Wikimedia ends up doing a lot of things
poorly. That seems to be the main point in the original poster's message.
