A count of office.wikimedia.org account deactivations suggests that
about 59 people left the WMF in 2012, for whatever reason. To me, that
seems like a lot of people. Maybe it's occasionally good for people to
leave, but so
Staff and contractors page includes Fellows...not sure about contractor and
such but I'm pretty sure they are put on there too.

Just a personal opinion about talent retention at the WMF.
There are not many factors contributing to retention in an organization
like this, in a context like ours:
- Tech sector is very competitive. Not even high pays, bonuses, stocks
and perks are any assurance of keeping people around

*2d. Does WMF have a talent retention problem and if so what is being
done about this?
The short answer is No.
The simplicity of this question is a bit misleading. I don't think we have
a talent retention problem because we have amazing people
It would. And Fellows, etc.
