I tried to edit the wiki on my phone, but it just wasn't working out. Anyway...
My vote: Right. I'm not crazy about the extended "f" crossbar or the right-angle shape the crossbar makes with the "i". I appreciate the effort and hope this isn't the end of this conversation. The logo should change as the project does. I'm just not convinced this idea is ready for use quite yet.
