only productive members ...
IMO it would be a real benefit if WMF would only take in persons who proved that they deliver "billable contributions", i.e. something donors would click on and give money: for _all_ roles. we have too many examples recently where it is really painful to interact with persons detached from the community, and anyway getting 5 or 6 digit dollar numbers out of the movement funds donated for free contents. as this is engineering, my suggestion would be to only take open source developers, especially for the community liaison and product management. --ThurnerRupert (talk) 05:51, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
