Except me!
Basically, the volunteer policy tries to draw a line between what staff
do, and what volunteers do. It also tries to to make everything as open
as possible: for example, releasing financial statements and reports
openly on the wiki, even if they make for dull reading. That makes sure
that volunteers are still at the very heart of WMUK, and keeps me where
I should be - off to one side, doing all the paperwork.
For example: it's not my job at WMUK to give media interviews, although
I will if no volunteers are available. What would be much better is to
have volunteers trained to do media interviews - WMUK's job is to make
sure that training happens.
Hope this makes sense!
