I have never understood the rationale of why, "just because we are dealing with 'lots of money', we have to pay lots of money (for the few)". Surely there are a few good people of integrity that would do the same or better for less?


Surely there are.

I suppose it helps having someone that knows absolutely nothing about the project to bullshit convincingly how wonderful it is ... especially for the best part of $472,000 a year and weekend trips to a romantic Amsterdam.

So why was every time-served Wikipedia free labor serf overlooked during her paid appointment?

Surely either that means that all of them are worth shit in the Eye of Whale ... or have just been treated like shit? Here she is in action ... http://cnettv.cnet.com/wikimedia-foundatio...1_53-32449.html. That is, a video interview rather than any alleged Amsterdam action.

"Jimmy ... is a modest guy ... a frugal guy ... Jimmy has never done anything wrong ... he does not live well ... does not live a lavish lifestyle".

Alternatively, there is a $70,000 to $85,000 job up for grabs, here; http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/foundation/164977 and a couple of supporting paid jobs, here; http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/foundation/164978

One requirement of which is ... "* Track down and recruit "experts" upon the request of working group and sub-group members." CVs by May 31st.

Within the context of this topic, I suppose it is the Charitable Foundations that have to pay so that everyone can have their fun and push their POV then?
