Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions

There are currently 2 job openings, and I thought someone here might be interested. Specifically:

• Community Liaison - this position will initially focus on working with the Flow team and also with the Editing (VisualEditor) team, mostly at non-English wikis; however, a lot of smaller or short-term tasks continually come up, so the WMF is particularly looking for someone who is adaptable, and with diverse interests.
• Community Liaison (Part time contract) - this part-time position will primarily focus on working with the Mobile teams, as the link explains.

If you need further information, feel free to send an email to cep@lists.wikimedia.org (but do not use this address to apply). Please pass it along, if you know someone who might be interested or a good fit for the Community Engagement team. Thanks!

Are they meant to get some input from outside the ivory tower to the WMF, to finally make them do something for the communities and give the communities at least some input, or are they just meant as salesmen for the useless stuff WMF want to push down the throats of the resistive communities?

Both.

I've answered in depth, at the meta thread.
