[Wikimedia-l] Question: How much does administration in Chapters cost the Wikimedia movement?

2013-04-19 Thread Fae
After seeing a few recent facts and figures about Wikimedia Chapters (at the Milan conference), I think that administration versus project activities is highly varied and may be something like 15% to 40% out of the overall budget. Unfortunately this figure can be a bit hard to work out and (I

This is a really interesting discussion, and one which has been mulled over in the WMUK offices for a while now. I have to agree with Christophe and Delphine that grouping all salaries or all office costs together isn't the best way of doing things, as grouping the salaries for the fundraisers and
