[P2P-F] research assistance request

[Michel Bauwens]

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.

"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."
