The problem is that any change means "change management".
But who was it that authorised which change? I would like to focus on what makes sense, which means that any technocratic category just won't lead us anywhere. In the end, what once was referred to as the Wikimedia movement has become a strange lot of organisations that have lost contact with the community of editors. The only thing that keeps them together in the end is money -- which is a bourgeois trade of old. And isn't it ironic that at a time when the German chapter understood that it had to intensify links with the community and partly already succeeded in getting back on track it is given less money, severing the chapter from its peers. That's no way still to empower the remaining editing community which is best served locally. Cutting the local chapters short and poor results in less support for editors, of course.
