And just to be more precise. After a couple of years of interacting with people in relation to Wikimedia projects, I realized that it is not so possible to get a random academician and put them into some Wikimedian working body. Usually, those persons are not so interested. I see that we have two more options for finding persons with relevant level of expertise: * to find Wikimedians with this kind of expertise; or * that some interested academician contacts us. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
