edit this template Welcome to the Wikimedia Foundation wiki

Thanks for being here! This wiki does not exactly follow the same rules as the other Wikimedia projects, since it is not open to all for editing, and in case of disagreement, the organ of decision will be the Board. A rule of thumb however is that if we gave you access, that means we trust you. So please, do not be shy in editing this site. There is ample work for everyone :-)

• Please create your userpage with a short biography and other introductory information about yourself and the work you do. You may want to use the {{user info}} template. Feel free to look at other user pages for examples.
• All organizational pages may be found in the special category.
• For those willing to help with translation, please see m:Translation requests, and in particular the Foundation subpage /WMF.
• Please watch for feedback on Meta-Wiki and start discussions there.

History of the Wikimedia Foundation

Hi. A little bird tells me that you know how to write well. Perhaps you could try your hand at updating History of the Wikimedia Foundation so that we can remove those ugly notes? :-) I've been trying to get Board of Trustees in a bit better shape myself. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:47, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, MZ. Thanks for asking, but I while I could do this as volunteer work just to see it get done, I really think it behooves WMF to designate an employee and allocate time to properly inform the community, including this documentation of major milestones, grants received, and resolutions. (for comparison, it is formally some employees' job to properly publicly document every grant given.) So until and unless we completely give up on this being given proper attention by the organization, I would rather spend my volunteer energy contributing more directly to the projects, in ways definitely outside the remit of WMF employees' duties. :) Ijon (talk) 06:48, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
