Incidently... given that most people would not be willing to publicly
post their phone number and possibly other personal information... and
that a wiki is actually not necessarily the best place to do such a
thing, has it ever been considered to set up something dedicated to
actually host contact information ?

Sure, it's so much better to ask to one WMF staff to use his payed time to
collect the mail and phone number of each chapters board member, whereas all of
this could have been done efficiently with no cost on Internal wiki.
The problem is that "old" wikimedians continue to consider internal like a
place to do lobbying or secret stuff, whereas new wikimedians just want a place to share
efficiently informations that cannot be displayed publicly like for example draft
agreement between a chapter and an institution!
There is millions way to improve the usage of donors money, and the position "no
place to work together" is not one of these.

So, rather than close the internal wiki, I'd like to propose a radical redesign
and repurposing of it. Is there the interest and willingness in the WMF and the
chapters to share such information with each other?
I'd argue against this. From the perspective of the Wikimedia
Foundation, I would rather staff bias towards putting information on
public wikis wherever possible, and I'd worry that staff energy going
into updating a closed private wiki would by necessity pull focus from
public work. I'd argue for closing both the internal wiki and the
internal mailing list: IMO there's nothing on either that needs to be
confidential.
Thanks,
Sue
