I can´t see really a difference between Wikipedian in residence and
WMF-Fellowships. Except the financial source: WMF-founded vs.
Chapter-founded.

The goals are the almost the same.

What happens with Wikipedian in residence which will not get any
salaries? Will this be a third class? Are they maybe unofficial?
