[Wikimedia-l] Lack of community involvement in WMF budget planning

[Tomasz W. Kozlowski]

Hi Sam,
thanks for the message, I appreciate hearing from a Board member at long 
last.

I agree that it might be a good idea to collect feedback during the year 
(is there actually any page that could be used for this purpose on 
Meta?) — but I think that it also needs to be mentioned that it's much 
easier and much more useful for the community to comment on a budget 
plan, especially before it is approved and put into motion.

Can you please let us know if the Board arrived at any decision about 
this? I had a look at the questions that were asked to you during the 
open meeting in Milan 
(<https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/wmconf2013-meeting-with-the-board>), 
but I was unable to find any related to the budget issue.
