Aye, given the nature of our work the vast majority of staff have a staff account of some sort (not everyone uses separate accounts though we strongly encourage them to). In the end almost everyone on staff has a reason, at some point, to edit on a public wiki whether they are HR/Finance ( discussions or postings about FDC proposals/budget publications etc) or technical/community/grant focused. For many that need actually tends to lean towards meta and/or mediawiki only though a fair bit stretch elsewhere on the projects ( engineering and community people especially ). Philippe and I have worked hard to try and make the 'staff' user group as it traditionally stands a very 'as needed' right and so the default is now to give out no rights or "smaller", more focused, rights (meta admin, central notice admin, global interface editor etc) that fit their need. ( we ask for a use case for every rights request, you can see most of them here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AvhjkTJIpW2zdDl1bVBuOU1jQUJwOHd5YmhmSzFaZHc&single=true&gid=5&output=htmlsysadmin rights aren't on there because they are generally handled by engineering). Overall we don't actually require separate accounts at the moment but I strongly encourage them, I think it behooves everyone to have a clear distinction between 'personal' and 'work' actions and the separate accounts help that significantly. I also think it helps in locking down access if they depart the foundation at some point.
