Thank you everyone for your help, and I especially appreciate Sumanah for
setting up the bug and making the RT ticket happen. Unfortunately, I cannot
track the progress of the RT ticket, but I am sure someone will keep us
posted on the Bugzilla bug or on this list.
Eternal gratitude to everyone

Hello,
A week ago, as I found out now, a new association has been found in
New York: Wiki Med Foundation, Inc. (!). We have the Wikimedia

Hi,
it should probably be emphasized that this organization was founded against
the advice of the Wikimedia Foundations' Affiliate Committee. It is not
recognized at this point.
I am also quite unhappy about the chosen name because of the obvious

Just a personal opinion about talent retention at the WMF.
There are not many factors contributing to retention in an organization
like this, in a context like ours:
- Tech sector is very competitive. Not even high pays, bonuses, stocks
and perks are any assurance of keeping people around
How about for the April fundraiser, instead of setting a dollar value
goal, we agree to use multivariate analysis instead of A/B testing to
optimize the messaging from volunteer submissions in advance, then run
the whole thing for a fixed time frame, say three weeks, and then use

Sj,
I'm addressing this question to you because you seem to be the most active
trustee in the areas where I checked for trustee activity, and also because you
were one of the authors of the “Building a lasting movement” workshop
submission to Wikimania 2012. I would also be interested in

The obvious point, which has been made many times on this list over the

I'm on a train so this will be brief... But let's say we do what you
suggest, and it only raises 90% of what is needed. What then?
I've had to pare back WMUKs budget in the past few weeks to what the FDC

Yes so Wiki Med Foundation Inc incorporated Dec 19, 2012 and we had our
first official board meeting Dec 26, 2012. We have had expressed interest
from 57 people from more than a dozen countries with a large group of
interested members from India. Our 9 board members are from 7 different
countries.
I'd really like to hear something more than a guess :) In the sense:
Could it be said that we are now reasonably financially safe?
