While I can understand people thinking "why on earth does anything related to Wikimedia need a policy about what volunteers should be doing?" - this policy is actually aimed at setting a limit on what *staff* do. For instance, we want to ensure we don't end up with a group of staff who end up blundering about trying to write Wikipedia articles with no understanding of how the community works. We want staff who can help volunteers do things, not do things for them... Chris
