it would be great if anyone had the time to do some research on the governance issues with the Bitcoin and Wikimedia Foundations, Wikimedia Foundation has been experiencing a spate of senior staff resignations, and there has been a great deal of uncertainty over the ambitions relating to the "Knowledge Engine" proposal that emerged under the current ED, Lila Tretikov. The following timeline with references to a variety of online discussions is pretty damning of the current climate for staff. http://mollywhite.net/wikimedia-timeline/ "The Wikimedia Foundation has recently suffered from lack of communication with the editing community, poor transparency, and sudden loss of staff members. Some of these issues center around the recent Wikimedia Discovery efforts, some seem to stem from senior leadership. Unrest and discontent has been visible both within the editing community and the Wikimedia Foundation itself." -- Check out the Commons Transition Plan here at: http://commonstransition.org P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
