Thanks for the survey. I trust that it will also be "advertised" in other venues. I notice that it gives ranges of 0 to 5 which is actually six data points rather than the more typical 1 to 5, so there is no "middle ground" on this survey - any answer either has to be at least somewhat

Thanks Alice IMO we need someone who understands our movements values, that understands that we are a movement, and sees themselves not as a decider and visionary but as a facilitator. Our movement has no lack of excellent ideas but does not always communicate effectively within itself. As such

[Wikimedia-l] Community survey to support the WMF ED search starts right now

Hello all, The ED search steering group has been soliciting input for a few weeks, and while a few people were fairly vocal about what they were looking for in a new ED, we decided that we needed more input from a broader range of people and we want to hear more from our emerging communities. To
