Hoi, I just had a look at the staff page at http://wikimediafoundation.org and I find many of the staff are just not there to be found. While the community is this big mass of people, it would be really valuable to have a place with a picture, a short cv and an organogram. Much of it is there but it is not kept up to date.
Contractors are not listed there. A lot of "staff" fall into this category. There are various reasons why they aren't listed there.
While there is no "official" contractor list, there is a community-run effort to keep track of this group on Meta[0].
It is really important that people who work for the WMF are knowable. The notion that only permanent staff should be included is imho not helpful, some are quite visible and important to the community as well. Thanks,
I agree wholeheartedly.
