Implicit in my questions was an honest desire to understand your specific concerns and help address them if possible. Yes, some of that comes in the form of prioritization and trying to distinguish between what you see as major issues and what are minor complaints (many people can probably think of minor complaints about the GFDL and its use, but those same people rarely feel this requires that one stop editing). If you feel uncomfortable spelling out your concerns, then I'll respect that and move on. Though you obviously know that if you are unable to take your concerns to the community, then that seriously restricts the number of people who could even consider helping you. I get the impression that there are things you do want from Wikipedia/WMF which haven't been addressed, and I wish you well in finding some resolution. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
