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.
