Three options - which one do we favour?

At the most simple level Tom has come up with three options. Which do people favour? Jon Davies (WMUK) (talk) 13:07, 24 September 2014 (BST)

  • Tech Liaison – part time person to fill key skills gaps.
  • Contractor – An extension of our current system of two contractors doing IT support.
  • A Chief Technical Officer (CTO) – a full time internal post.

Learning Organisation

At a deeper level, I feel that we should look at Wikimedia UK - comprising all the stakeholders Tom has identfied - becoming more of a Learning Organisation. I think many of the ingredients outlined in the Wikipedia article are already present. However I do feel that it requires conscious effort to bring the existing elements together and integrate them effectively. I feel tom's report is an important step in this direction, but without this further element, I am not sure how effective we can expect to become.Fabian Tompsett (WMUK) (talk) 12:34, 26 September 2014 (BST)
