Think I can run an instance of https://github.com/mozilla/fjord on Labs and have various Wikimedia projects (Wikis and Chapters) point to it in their sidebar. A universal "Leave Feedback" link.
It would take people to a page similar to https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback, with an appropriate disclaimer: "If you need help or have a problem with Firefox, please visit Firefox Support." We could be able to customize it for each project to fit our needs. (Include aggressive pointers to OTRS queues and village pumps for each project, as appropriate).
Thoughts?

I maintain that I would love to have a formal universal feedback channel for Chapters work. It has to be drama-free, but transparent, and not moderated.
Feedback is occasionally not negative, and may contain thorough project ideas.

Hoi, As there is this constant call for more paper work for chapters, it has to be understood that this is exactly what kills the productivity of chapters. There are always more people with their opinion why this that or the other is amiss. They all have their arguments why they think they are right and consequently contribute to the noise level that is already way too high.
If anything we should look for ways of appreciating the effect of chapters that does not make them beholden to every John Dick AND Harry and at the same time gives them equal space to move as effectively as the Wikimedia Foundation itself. Thanks, GerardM

To clarify: I would like to see a more strong mechanism for review of Chapters work. This includes thorough feedback channels about how Chapters communicate, how they spend their funding. Including means to dissolve a Chapter if a large chunk of people believes it is not working well (such as, providing inadequate support to the Wikimedia movement).
This feedback channel is probably not here, but I feel this list could be an appropriate place to discuss how the above could be implemented.

Fae,
Please do not drag this list into whatever trouble you've found yourself in on another. Wikimedia-l is neither a court of appeals for Wikimedia-related lists nor a bullhorn for your personal grievances.

Hi Darcy,
I am concerned at what appears to be deliberate suppression of questions raising governance related issues from the wikimedia UK email list. The email below is an example. The list was always intended to be independent of the UK chapter, though one of the moderators is one of your employees.
Could you please confirm that neither you, nor your employees, are manipulating this public list to your political advantage.
Thanks, Fae

It would be nice to hear from the board how this was discussed before offering the interim position. After all, in the several interviews I took part in for WMUK staff, pretty much the first basic question was along the lines of 'have you ever edited Wikipedia?' as a way of assessing what the candidate knows about Wikimedia; so I can not believe this would come as a surprise considering how sensitive the board is on COI and its perception by our community.
