I'd be keen to be involved as we have a mass upload project planned for some time in the next 6-12 months. How can we do this? >> And, as far as I know, a sysop is just a technical function, with the >> ability (some buttons) and not the authority to push them without 'community >> consent'. Sorry, but that's very naive. Sysops are always more than a technical function - they have authority, like it or not. >> And one last thing: Commons, like all projects, are independent of the WMF, >> the Board of the WMF can't impose anything on the project. Again, not true. WMF always has the ultimate power to step in and impose a solution through "office actions". Not saying they necessarily should, but they can if they need to. Andrew
