Hi, yes, my comments had a broader scope than the original purpose of the thread. I'm not planning to discuss that further here.

Hmm, I'm not sure that I'd agree that everything that WMF does has a community aspect. There's been a lot of discussion about readership that
to
me seems primarily concerned with fundraising and only secondly concerned with recruiting new contributors and otherwise serving the community.
(I'm
not opposed to fundraising, I just want to clarify that community support is a step removed from the interest in readership.) There's also the open question of what to do with the millions of dollars in WMF reserves, and whether current grantmaking and affiliation policies and processes are actually hindering progress in certain areas, as we discussed a bit at
the
Wikimedia Conference and elsewhere; thankfully it sounds like Grantmaking is going to go through a community consultation this year, and I hope to see some rethinking of current policies and practices.

Hello Pine,
That is largely out of the list purpose. I invite you to bring that to a different trol^H^H^H^H list or ask your question directly to WMF: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Contact_us
Thanks!
