In principle, the way I see it (and it is my personal view only), there should be different standards for small/grassroot organizations (let's say, up to 100,000$ budget), medium ones (100k-1m), and the large, fully professional ones, including WMF, so I think that as a final outcome WMF should set standards, that will be higher than required from most of the organizations. But one step at a time. best, dariusz -- __________________________ prof. dr hab.
