I don't think that using my Wikimedia address (like I am now) is meant to create a wall. I just use it because this is my job and I like to keep my email lives separate. The (WMF) notation is used by employees to notate that they are an employee and usually used for more "official" business. The convention is to use a separate account for personal purposes (like normal editing, instead of something official).
If you think this is a major problem, these questions are more appropriate for wikimedia-l as they are not technical and instead policy :) On Sat, Nov 3, 2012 at 8:09 AM, Petr Bena <[email protected]> wrote: > I think there is no need to make any walls between community and wmf. > Main difference between volunteers and wmf employees is that they are > paid for they work.
