Another thought: perhaps more investment could be made in providing career
development support for our volunteers of all kinds. It's relatively common
in the United States for organizations with lots of volunteers to put some
investment explicitly into helping the volunteers develop skills snd
experience that are useful for both their voluntary and paid work CVs. If
more of that kind of investment was made by WMF, volunteering would be more
attractive *and* WMF would benefit by having more ability to fill paid
positions from the ranks of volunteers.
