As a mathematician, I agree with you. Experience, however, tells me that there is always enough work for between 10% and 20% more people than you have! If you have enough work for 0.7 FTE, then as soon as you hire someone you'll find another 0.5 FTE worth of work appears. I don't think there is any real risk of hiring someone and not being able to find useful things for them to do. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
