I think this is a very interesting point. Why is the WMF so dependent on being able to hire staff in one location? I seem to recall suggesting some time ago that they should diversify their location globally in the inerests of innovation and efficiency. It would have done them good to gt out of the Silicon Valley bubble a long time ago. Perhaps the most effective action they could take, that would be thoroughly in the long-term interests of the mission and also probably agreeable to the inclinations of the majority of staff and contributors, would be to move the bulk of their operations out of the USA altogether. That would be a very powerfful message. I am sure London would welcome the WMF, and the WMF would find it a more vibrant and creative hub than San Francisco.
