Is any of it? It doesn't appear that anyone outside of troll-l^wfoundation-l cares. Even over at Wikipedia review the response has been more along the lines of "Wow, they suckered Omidyar!". Much of the discussion here seems to be a concern that someone platonic community member will be outraged, not that the participants themselves are more than mildly disappointed. When ENWP changes their site notice to direct readers to a wikinews smear piece about the board selling a seat— then we can worry. Until then, this seems like a lot of pointless lip-flapping. Cheers. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
