Hey JustAning. I'm happy to answer your questions.


 * 1) Your understanding of Community Council is correct. It's our product alpha testing and feedback group, so Councilors are part of that. Councilors are chosen if they have relevant knowledge about the Wikia platform and are positive and active Wikia users. Positive not in terms of "everything you say must be in agreement with Wikia," but that they're positive about being on Wikia and seeing it grow and improve.
 * 2) Volunteer Developers are a small group of users who work on smaller technical features and bugs that Wikia may not have time for. It's invite-only. The best place to ask more about that would be Special:Contact, as I don't have much involvement with the program.
 * 3) Wikia Staff are employees of Wikia with varying different responsibilities, depending on what department their in. Departments including Community, Marketing, Sales, Product, and Engineering. We post open positions on our Careers page and also on sites like LinkedIn, JobScore, etc.

Hope that helps. Glad you're interested in Wikia!
