i dont think anyone really knows what to do about the editor decline.
How was this problem presented and discussed inside of WMF?
As an editor, I had an opportunity to discuss it with Sue Gardner at a meet up with other editors. The feedback from other editors was so strong, I'm baffled that WMF couldn't address it.
Although, I understood from Sue that WMF's role was only as a software company that made tools. She said quite clearly that the editor community ran itself.
But if dwindling editor participation is an existential threat, surely that's a core WMF problem? I'm curious what this looked like from inside WMF.
