Many Wikipedia editors finally got what they wanted Thursday.
After weeks of revolt on social media and Wikipedia mailing
lists, Wikimedia Foundation executive director Lila Tretikov
resigned amid concerns the foundation wasn't being transparent
with its community about plans to develop a search engine.
Patricio Lorente, a member of the Wikimedia Board of Trustees,
announced her resignation in an email to the Wikimedia-L mailing
group Thursday.
