[Wikimedia-l] Strange, surprising, bold and unnecessary - reply to the WMF board statement

[Mathieu Stumpf]

Hello Itzik Edri,

Before reading me, please keep in mind I'm not familiar with all the 
WMF bureaucracy, I'm following sparsely this list for one month or two, 
so take care to interpret my sentences with the trunked view which is 
available to me.

How much support do we need? That's the question which really bother 
me. Even with no support from WMF, organizing local chapters is a good 
way to spread and make sustainable the willingness to share knowledge 
and build great things together.

Personally, I'm not seeking for some leader. I don't contribute 
wikimedia projects because I trust some leader, but because I think 
that's a way to improve the world for all of us. So, I don't think you 
need a leader, but if you need some help for a project which goes in the 
same way as wikimedia ones do, surely I would be proud to help you if I 
can. May I help you ?
