Hoi, The most important thing about the board and the WMF is that they enable what we do. The dependence on them delivering services that are of a high quality is something they deliver. At the same time there is a coterie of "Wikipedians" that want to remake the WMF in their own image. They have proven not to be interested in our projects really. They have been challenged to consider practical things that will deliver much better quality for Wikipedia but it proved not to be what they are interested in.
Arguably there is a crisis. But the crisis has less to do with the WMF than with some in the community. They call themselves the community. IMHO they are malcontents; they have no agenda but single issues that will not help us achieve what the WMF is about. Thanks, GerardM

It seems that the engagement between the Board and the Community has broken down, to the point that there may be a crisis of confidence developing. Perhaps members of this list would care to express their views at
