So they're getting paid less than the going rate, at least the software engineers are. Interesting.

Have you considered many of them that are on the payroll might have other jobs and so the volume is to make up for the fact that they're not all 40+ hours full time? I think this is much more complicated than we could first expect

You know, they probably need a couple people part time for every language that has a wikipedia version.

Without a breakdown of where the employees are located and their positions, you can't possibly say anyone at Wikimedia is getting paid more or less than the going rate.

I doubt most of them would be engineers, or even technical people.
