The Foundation has been flailing about for some time now. They are rudderless, unprofessional, and lacking sufficient ability to set things right. I hold almost no hope they can fix the very serious problems they are facing. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:32, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
 * We have a new ED as this "flailing" was widely recognized. Moral at the foundation is much better now than this time last year. I think the WMF has made some definite improvement and I am personally happy to give her more time. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 02:19, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

I am still unsure about this strategic planning. Since the WMF is an umbrella for many projects, for both content and infrastructure, shouldn't the projects' leadership and communities be asked to make strategic plans? At least this would encourage some intra-project and inter-project discussion, and I think it would also relieve alot of pressure on WMF leadership. int21h (talk · contribs · email) 14:54, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
