That's a very interesting blog post, and at first glance situation looks bad in
a number of ways. I'm bothered by the lack of reporting as well as the COI
issues involved.
Anasuya, at I don't think the $53,690 number is the right one, but regardless
of how much money was involved, can you

Hi Jan-Bart,
I'm saying that this looks bad and asking what happened. I directed my email to
the people who I think are in the best positions to respond or would want to
look at this for themselves.
There is a point at which asking questions becomes trolling or wasting
resources but I think

Hi Lisa,
Hi all,
Just to be clear and follow up on Lisa's mail: this project and process did
not involve grants from WMF, and WMF's role (as Lisa explained) was as a
fiscal sponsor, and thereby to provide initial advice as they began
recruiting and to inform the community as they did so.
thanks,
Anasuya
Hi Anasuya and Lisa,
I'm not sure I understand what is meant by fiscal sponsor here. I'd have
thought that would mean that the funding to the sponsored organisation is
analogous to a grant provided by the WMF, even thought the money is actually
provided (directly?) by another organisation.

Presumably because the fiscal sponsorship was handled through
fundraising, and HR simply tallies the contracts per department and
didn't have the backstory.
Myself and several other community members who are heavily involved in the
development of 'Wikipedian in Residence' and GLAM-WIKI became aware of this
project in early 2012, just before the job description was published. I
will let them speak for themselves if they wish to weigh-in. But the TL;DR

I'll copyedit it for clarity later, but I see absolutely no
contradiction between what I wrote and what I've said since. Your last
email contained a pretty substantial suggestion that doesn't seem to
