On leaks, transparency, and the Wikimedia structure
"The big issue of late is leaks and transparency within the Wikimedia Foundation. On foundation-l, there's been an ongoing debate that recently blew up with Erik Moeller's appointment to the Deputy Director office from his position as a board member, something that we now are finding out has been in the works for months, and goes contrary to the board's majority position that there should be a 6 month period between someone going staff--> board or board --> staff. These and other decisions of late have been highly criticized by a community that has been more active about calling out the foundation than ever before."
