What kind of ED would you like to see? * Someone who knows how the wiki works or atleast has basic knowledge on how to "edit" wikis.
* Someone who wants to work on "building" the encyclopaedia, not the bureaucratic side which our last ED was more focused on. * Someone willing to work on improving the wiki by working on ways of creating and increasing our contributor base, we are seriously lacking in that sector.. * Someone who is so transparent that we could see right through them, secrecy is what got us in this mess in the first place. * Someone willing to ensure that the board, the staff and the community work in 'unison' instead of the former 2 dictating their policies, views and choices onto the latter. * Someone willing to take the hard stance and do what's right by the community instead of allowing the Board and other staff members to dictate the job for them.. * Someone who puts the Community first ALWAYS. (we do not want another issue like 'super-protect' ever again) That is what I would like our ED to be ...we need an "Executive DIRECTor", not an "Executive FOLLOWer" On 2/27/16, Greg Grossmeier <[email protected]> wrote: > <quote name="Yuri Astrakhan" date="2016-02-27" time="03:45:28 +0300"> >> Greg, agree 100%, but that's not how I understood the question and the >> results of the staff survey.
