Wittylama added a comment. I'm still not sure what this means though....
Am I supposed to have a WMF staff team to "facilitate" Europeana's relationship to the community? I thought that's what my role was... Equally, there's lots of GLAMs out there that work directly with a local volunteer. I think my question basically points to my confusion about what the WMF's "Partnerships" team does. Partnering with mobile-phone companies for the Zero program is one thing, but if the WMF is now moving into the ream of direct content partnerships with external orgs, that's a whole different story. Just like the WMF doesn't negotiate image-donations for Commons, equally it shouldn't be negotiating metadata-donations for Wikidata. It should support "the community" to do that. Alternatively - create a workflow for "the community" to submit our content partnership proposals to the WMF and you do the work that we've done up until now.
