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

[Nathan]

The necessity of public comment on a detailed budget is overblown. I
don't think the Foundation should dedicate a lot of time or resources
into getting input into the budget development process from members of
the community. This is one area where expertise and the ability to
dedicate a substantial amount of time does matter, crowdsourcing a
budget doesn't work. The WMF is not a wiki.
