I'm sure there will be a way to turn it off. If not initially then after the hate mail starts coming in. And yeah, you can in theory trace the history. But I don't want to do all that work. Again, after thinking about it further I guess it has its possible uses. But they were pitching it as a replacement for email, not as a replacement for wikis or a new method of communications altogether.

Well, yes, clearly, but that only partially explains the lack of grasp on the real world. Seriously, I remember watching some other parts and thinking about how it was surely written by some geek with no concept of a world outside of cyberspace. But the audience seemed to be even in love with Google, almost in a cult-like way, compared to the average developer. I mean, sure, it was a self-selected sample, of people interested in Google, but even that doesn't explain the response. I'm quite interested in Google, and as a shareholder I am quite biased toward them. But I wouldn't have dreamed of applauding at some of the crap they revealed. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
