I disagree. Those objections are not against the idea of a founder flag, but against his rights, or rather the way he used these rights. If those rights are significantly curtailed, we have a different situation, and not everyone who was against the extensive rights will be against the narrower ones as well. In fact, I would say that letting Jimbo remain Founder, but remove several rights from that position would be very fitting in the Wikimedia way of working: Not voting, but searching consensus for a compromise. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
