The two people hired for that process (Eugene Eric Kim and myself) had deep involvement with the Wikimedia community prior to being hired. I believe Lila was likely referring to the involvement of the Bridgespan Group in the process, but I would hasten to point out that their involvement was largely advisory, and deeply informed by the involvement of the more than 1000 people who contributed to the development of the 2010-2015 plan. I can only suspect that Lila's language here was imprecise - I don't think that process could be legitimately thought of as "outsourced" in the common usage of the word, nor do I believe that Lila thinks that. I think she was mostly operating on the fly and grabbed the wrong word. But I've been wrong before. :-) pb Philippe Beaudette [email protected] _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
