It seems they want to grow really fast - 185% growth in salary expenditures next year to $9M.
- gritzko 16y agoYep, they have huge expansion plans. At the peak of their growth (circa 2006) they had ~4 employees. Currently I think they have ~40, expanding to 80, projecting 180 in some future. The 40>80>180 plan was announced at Wikimania'10, I believe. What bothers me a bit, enwiki got into steady-state like 3 years ago and some people claim the activity slowly goes down. Meanwhile, the staff expands. I do not really understand the process.
- riffraff 16y agothis is my same question, and others have voiced it. Why do they want to grow this way?
