Hi Cary Bass, Congratulations on your new voluntary position in the oversight of Wikipeida! As a volunteer and regular foundantion-l list e-mail receiver, I hope that you will be given no discretionary power whatsoever as to this free-entrepreneurial dot.com company. This economic crisis demands not panic but unity in its smallest form; and under the context in anger upon which I am writing to you, unity is far from a modern reality.

I think Commons is a very important project, and a very complicated project. With more and more projects initiated by our chapters to encourage other organizations or individuals to give their content free and upload them to Commons it also becomes a fassade project of the Foundation and its chapters. This and other reasons make me think that we should as broadly as possible to discuss a few issues on Commons. The discussion is here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Some_reflections_about_the_governance_of_Common -- Ting Ting's Blog: http://wingphilopp.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 19:22:28 +0100 From: David Gerard <[email protected]> Subject: [Foundation-l] How to help convince Google not to foul up HTML5 <video>? To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Summary: Google Chrome includes Ogg support for the <video> element. It also includes H.264 support. Fine, but ... they're also testing HTML5 YouTube *only* for H.264. Mike Shaver from Mozilla has fairly unambiguously asked Chris diBona from Google what the heck Google thinks it's doing: http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-June/020363.html Google appears to want Ogg support, but strictly as a sideline for H.264 support. Is there anyone around the Foundation who can ask them "wtf?" - d. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:54:04 -0700 From: Cary Bass <[email protected]> Subject: [Foundation-l] Volunteer:Email response statistician To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <[email protected]>, English Wikipedia <[email protected]>, [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, please see new volunteer position[1] for Email response (OTRS) statistician.

In the past years we've seen substantial semantic drift in the various localized/translated versions. Having the English version visible for consistent reference should help to avoid this. A two-column format should make it not-too-irritating. > We also need a technical way of flagging CC-BY-SA only content > (page_props?). No, we're not committing to any advanced tracking of GFDL; it's an obligation of re-users.
