In reply to Heather Burns.
I know all about the Foundation. And it has been hurting me for years that it is so, and – apparently? – there is no will to change that.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way forever. It is time to think the unthinkable and say the unspeakable. To be satisfied with the status quo, to be satisfied? Never!

The question is whether we really want all this.
It would be possible without problems. Just look, how other foundations work in the Open Source area, for example the Open Document Foundation behind Libre Office or the Mozilla Foundation.

This pseudo-transparent, pseudo-democratic construct of the current “WordPress Foundation” should be scrutinized and transformed into reasonable, relevant structures, independent of “Automattic”/ “Audrey Capital”, etc.
