Having some technical oversight from the community in the form of a lightweight 'geek
cabal'* seems like it might be quite important given other discussions about things
like mailing lists, having to run a locally-hosted OTRS-type system for fundraising email,
and funding of tool development (stuff like Wikidata, Commons upload tools for projects
like GLAM).
If people are interested in getting involved with these kinds of
things, and are prepared to make the commitment necessary to help us
see some of these projects through, then great - please shout!
That would be much more helpful than 27-email threads about which
individual bits of software everyone thinks our staff should use. ;-)
