This is great news. I've been a bit worried about the Foundation's reliance on project-specific contractors. While there's obviously a need to have resources targeted for certain projects, the overhead in doing so can cause problems. Getting people up to speed and productive takes a larger proportion of time for time-limited employment as compared to indefinite employment as is done for most of the Foundation staff. I think we should be trying to keep staff in the organization long-term, so I'm glad to see a contractor move into a more permanent role. I was thrilled when the Usability Initiative became a permanent team. I'm also happy to see this happening for Philippe, since he has indeed been doing a great job on his projects so far. - -Mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkvGChgACgkQst0AR/DaKHvNZQCgyWRfI9w9AGeAKsZSpKbMg6pw 1cEAn2elrzLD3fgTHS8ki0cQzE2ob5ua =X0WN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
