Hoi.
One reason why I am a candidate for the board of the WMF is that in my
opinion one function is lacking. There is no reflection of the fact that
all that we do is to share the sum of all knowledge. It is not only about
the creation of content but also about sharing the sum all the knowledge
that is available to us.
For obvious reasons, the contributors to the projects are heard. I do not
subscribe to the notion that the "projects" need to be in the
organisational chart. With 300 languages and potentially multiple projects
for each language it is impossible to have equity among these projects. The
point that I have made repeatedly: Commons is not useful in any language
but English, this does not need to be as there is software that works
equally well in any language dependent on the availability of labels in
Wikidata. This is just one example, there are more.
Thanks,
GerardM
