Open discussion is of course the first step in gaining support. We've been waiting for your participation, as you seem to be the functionary in charge of starting new lists. Now that you are participating in an open discussion, we can sort of resolve any issues people might have with it. > If I see nothing more than this by July 27, I will close the bug as >WONTDO Well, that gives us three full days. This after you had been non-responsive for almost a month. I understand that you are a functionary, and do things in a functionary way, but I would respectfully ask for more time. A whole week even. > The appropriate thing for you to have done is to put a note on > the bugzilla I filed the report on mediazilla. No response.

Hm. All I did was start a 100 message thread on wikien-l, and a request on mediazilla. If you could outline more "appropriate" methods for getting you to do something several of us expressed support for, then please state them. > you've certainly placed me in a defensive > position; and having to explain to you why your rather request > has a lower priority than other things. Well I understand that you are very very busy. Again, if you had responded to the concept either in private, on mediazilla, or on wikien-l, and not just on a private mailing list, things would have gone a bit smoother. As you raised the issue of appropriateness, I don't believe anyone's private summary judgments are appropriate for an open project. Sorry to put you on the spot, Cary. I was simply asking for some open discussion. I do not understand what forces compel you to discuss an open project's matters through only private means, and I don't care, really. I was just asking for an open dispute resolution mailing list. -Steven _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
