Do any fellow unpaid volunteers have a view on the changeover of the charity from using the volunteer controlled wiki as a front end, to using a fixed employee controlled website?
I feel this will be the end of the UK wiki in terms of being a public landing site with immediate engagement with fellow volunteers. Instead, we will have a public relations website subject to control by the Chief Executive, presumably full of good news, and hidden behind it will be the UK wiki, now acting only as a forum rather than a space where volunteers could create pages that support fund-raisers, openly discuss real issues, problems and so forth. As a community of volunteers, we seem to have let the charity gradually drift away from being volunteer driven and volunteer centric and become overly sensitive to public relations. I am not sure why we let that happen.
