Ok, maybe more attention to user groups and small affiliates at WMCON is the way to go.
I heard at WMCON 2015 that WMF was considering assigning more resources to supporting user groups, in addition to the community capacity development research. I would still like to see that happen, such as with proactive outreach and mentorship for user groups. The organizations in the FDC process collectively have thousands of WMF staff hours focused on them each year, when they are generally the most mature groups. I think that WMF might get better total ROI by increasing the proportion of time and resources that are devoted to supporting and developing small affiliates. The community capacity development framework is a step in that direction, and I hope that we'll see a ramp up in WMF investment in small affiliates starting this quarter.
