hi, an interesting discussion. what do you mean by "dedicated time"? but it might as well be that working for the foundation is a regular paid job. becoming a volunteer editor out of a paid job is of course possible as sue gardner showed. but i think it is something not very typical. if wmf wants that their employees volunteer they might consider to only employ people who showed their commitment already. i am not so sure if this would make sense in every case.
