I've put some of my thoughts about the dynamics of the WMF-Community
relationship into an essay on Meta, entitled "Why do They always get It
wrong?"
I thought I'd share it here. Hope it's useful!

(It's not specifically addressed at any of the current challenges the
movement faces, though as it happens I first started thinking about writing
this when I was making notes for conversations with various people
explaining why I thought Arnnon Geshuri would need to resign).
Regards,
Chris
