Hi Andreas, fair points!
Just to clarify, my suggestion is a community process to decide how to
allocate the extra resources. I do agree with you and Galder that not
nearly enough resources are spent on MediaWiki, automatic translation tools
being one of many weak points. Another one that to my
Hi Felipe,
Funding open knowledge projects beyond Wikimedia, or other altruistic
projects that have nothing to do with Wikimedia at all (the Knowledge
Equity Fund is a case in point, of course ...) doesn't seem right to me.
The WMF has been fundraising in India (as well as in Latin America and
Are we back to this? Seriously? I thought this topic was dead for at

How would you propose to measure 'output' in a somewhat objective way? It
is of course easy to identify that our own pet projects don't get the

The question of you is important. The Wikimedia Foundation hired a lot of
