[Wikimedia-l] Fwd: [Wikimediach-l] Wikimedia CH is hiring two new staff

[Ilario Valdelli]

I don't know exactly the selection of this definition, but I suppose 
that it has been due to the "choice" to don't be project manager because 
any project has its own project manager.

He is project manager in some cases but for other projects is mainly a 
supervisor.

About the projects I would say that WM CH is focusing the efforts mainly 
in "scientific" projects. "Scientific" means not only "science" but is 
connected with the approach had in the projects (also a project in the 
literature may be "scientific").

I think that his effort is mainly focused to give to the projects a 
"scientific" approach in order to give to the projects more quality.

Regards
