Hi Eric, thanks for your answers. For me they were really helpful, and I hope they can lead to some understanding-

I think you can find people who would work on such a page. But it will impose severe social costs to the editors if they are seen doing this - and what is more important, I have severe doubts if they would be legitimized to speak for the community. Although I actually think, there are ways to reconcile the community and the Board. As far as I understand it, there are several criteria which are highly important to the community: - No interference in the editorial process from outside. - Especially not on this way, which would mean no discussion or no possibility to react for the community. - The only judgement on contents should be, whether they are in their given context educational or not. Not if they are considered morally good or bad. - Especially when this judgement is done by people who seem to be far outside of the common value set shared by Germans. regards dirk/southpark _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
