This is just not Wikipedia's day

Another sad Wikipedia piece of news. Two senior members of Wikimedia are resigning. Brad Patrick, General Council and Executive Director of the foundation, stated that he was leaving due to "concerns about the informal structure of the board and the inexperience of its seven members.

A board that is tasked with the responsibility of running a 501(c)3 should have the competences to run a 501(c)3 and get all the help they can from as many people as they can, including outside people, to do that," Patrick said. "I've said before that the board could just as soon have a pie-eating contest or flip a coin or Tiddly Winks to determine who the next board member would be and it would have the same legitimacy as an election.

I should run for the board...
