On the Vision thing - There is a leadership vision, and an organizational/movement vision. The leader should articulate theirs. The organizational one needs to come from everyone but would likely be articulated by the ED after that process. George William Herbert Sent from my iPhone > On Feb

What kind of ED would you like to see? * Someone who knows how the wiki works or atleast has basic knowledge on how to "edit" wikis. * Someone who wants to work on "building" the encyclopaedia, not the bureaucratic side which our last ED was more focused on. * Someone willing to work on

Greg, agree 100%, but that's not how I understood the question and the results of the staff survey. It seemed the staff expected the vision from the ED/Management. On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 3:31 AM, Greg Grossmeier wrote: > > > Subbu, one of the chief complains I heard about
