Re: [Wikimediauk-l] WMUK may not take on a task that volunteer could do.

"WMUK may not take on a task that volunteer could do". or "WMUK may not take on a task that volunteer is willing and able to do as a volunteer?" Hopefully the tasks being done by our staff are ones that volunteers could do, but nobody is volunteering to bank cheques and so forth. This may seem like a subtle difference, but you wouldn't want a professional staff that preferred to employ people to do things that they didn't think the mere volunteers were capable of. Not that I'm accusing anyone in WMUK of falling into that trap.
