Hi -- I just noticed a wikimedia.org e-mail address that I didn't recognize; I assume it belongs to a new contractor. It reminded me that the announcement process for contractors (and other non-permanent staff) is still non-existent.
The last time I asked about this, I was told that I should be picking up clues from the way people sign blog posts and gathering other pieces of information (like e-mail address changes) in order to figure out who's working on what. I don't think this is acceptable. Is it possible to have some sort of standardized announcement process and tracking system of Wikimedia's contractors? They're not tracked at the Wikimedia Foundation's Staff page[1] and I don't know of any public place where they're announced. Specifically, it would be nice to know who's been hired, what they're working on, etc. It's possible that there are announcements being made and I've simply been missing them, but that would be surprising to me and would indicate a problem of a different nature. Thanks.
