(This message is not an official message from the subcommittee, just myself as a member.)
Hello Mohamed Magdy, As a member of the language subcommittee, I am sorry you are disappointed with our performance, but it is not true that its members do not care. The Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia was approved with insufficient subcommittee discussion, which sparked some changes inside the subcommittee. For example, we replaced several inactive members to increase participation, and there is an upcoming proposal for a quorum to ensure that no other decision can be made without community consensus. Subcommittee discussion is publicly archived (except comments by 2 members), as you can see in these relevant discussions: > http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_subcommittee/Archives/2008-11#Subcommittee_dissatisfaction > http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_subcommittee/Archives/2008-12#Wiktionary_Masry I am also sorry we are seen as unfair; I have tried to ensure a universal, objective policy that treats all requests equally. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. As for dissolving the subcommittee and recreating it with a different membership, I would not be opposed. -- Yours cordially, Jesse Plamondon-Willard (Pathoschild) _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
