Realistically, most of the non-administrative techie people are not
going to follow the strategy wiki.  I'd hope that it's techie
administrative people who decide whether a tech position should be
part-time or full-time, though, not non-techie administrative people.
(Are there techie strategy and budget people too, or are they all
non-techie?)

I used to read all the bug mail up until a couple of years ago,
presumably when the volume was much lower, and I think I spent a few
hours a week handling a lot less than all the bugs.  If we do hire a
full-time person and that's really more than enough, so that every new
bug filed gets a substantive response and is triaged and forwarded to
the right people within one business day, and our only problem is what
to tell the bugmeister to do with the rest of their time -- then
that's a good problem to have!  Much better than hiring someone
part-time and finding they can't keep up.
