Gordon - have you actually read the draft policy - if so is there anything
you particularly object to about it?
While I can understand people thinking "why on earth does anything related
to Wikimedia need a policy about what volunteers should be doing?" - this
policy is actually aimed at setting a limit on what *staff* do. For
instance, we want to ensure we don't end up with a group of staff who end
up blundering about trying to write Wikipedia articles with no
understanding of how the community works. We want staff who can help
volunteers do things, not do things for them...
