Hi Cary, this is truly sad news for us! I'm not sure how the foundation is supposed to replace you.

Cary, you'll be missed. The WMF absolutely should try to replace you, although I doubt they'll find someone who can do the job as well as you have done. Good luck going back to school, and maybe you can get into editing some of the articles about Levant religions on the English Wikipedia... I hear its a gentle, welcoming environment!

[Foundation-l] Announcing my departure from the Wikimedia Foundation
It is with deep regret that I tell you I will be leaving the staff of the Wikimedia Foundation at the end of December. I'm leaving the staff, but I will continue to be involved with the Wikimedia movement as a volunteer, both as a contributor and in the organization of the annual Wikimania conference. Much of my work with Wikimedia will continue, except now I will be doing it as a volunteer rather than as a paid staff person. The Wikimedia Foundation is not planning to hire another volunteer coordinator to look after the specific range of work I've been doing, so if you are unsure about who will handle things I have been responsible for, please feel free to ask me, and we'll work it out over the next several months. I have decided to continue my education and have begun the process of enrolling in post-graduate studies to pursue a theological path that I've been considering for many years. I have very much enjoyed my time with the Wikimedia Foundation, and I look forward to continuing to work alongside you all, as a Wikimedia volunteer. I enjoy working with each and every one of you.
