*nod* The Wikimedia Foundation is not, and has never been, involved with Wikia in a capacity which would make foundation-l an appropriate place to report a complaint about content on one of Wikia's thousands of user-created wiki sites. You should contact Wikia's admins directly if you want such a problem taken care of. If one is instead making the argument that Wikimedia should distance itself from a wiki hosting company due to offense taken at user-created content on a site hosted by that company, well that's probably not the best argument but I guess you can freely make it here. :) The relationship between WMF and Wikia is basically on the order of "some of the same people are involved" [many fewer now than before], "much of the same technology is involved" [still true], and "because of the above, occasionally both companies find it convenient to share resources" [mainly our techs talk to each other, and sometimes we'll split spare capacity on some physical resource at a fair market rate]. This is not a particularly closer relationship than we have with other companies and organizations in the fields of wikis and open source/content stuff. -- brion _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
