It is great to hear how you are working to learn about the vast Wikimedia community, its projects, its priorities and its challenges, Lila.
I'm thinking there's something else that all of us should help you celebrate as well: after only a few weeks on the job, being named to the Forbes list of the 100 most powerful women: http://www.forbes.com/profile/lila-tretikov/
That's a great start.

Great to hearing your experience. As being a new ED too (3 months now) I can indentify myself with your experience: the first month is about listening and getting to know :)
All the best for what is to come! Hope to meeting you asap!
Hugs from Argentina.

Thank you for this write-up. It was nice to read. :-)
Your recommendations on areas you see as priorities for development (while keeping in mind that not everything can be a priority at once!); [...]
I think this continues to be a huge pain point. Developer resources
are
scarce and expensive and there's often a feeling that the latest
Wikimedia
Foundation initiatives trump all other worthwhile projects. I think
we
need to find a better way to more fairly allocate resources.
As a concrete example, there continue to be dozens of Wikimedia
Foundation
developers and other staff specifically focused on the English
Wikipedia
and sometimes Wikimedia Commons, while the other sister projects such
as
Wiktionary, Wikibooks, and Wikisource continue to receive almost no
direct
attention. (Over the past few years, even the term "sister projects"
has
become mildly insulting. These projects are more accurately the
red-headed
stepchild projects.) This won't happen quickly, but we must make it a
goal
to do better in this area.
