Thanks Asaf,
I didn't know about that group.

May I also mention that the conversation is also becoming *exhausting*,
being in English and at very high level?
I know we can't do nothing about it, but it's worth noting, IMHO, that the
more we go on the fewer people with incredible stamina, analytic skills and
English proficiency will follow and engage.
Not really inclusive for Wikimedia.
I, for one, find it very hard to follow everything and participate.

Thanks for the note!  Fwiw, I can't read that without a login.  Feel free
to urge the owners to make the thread public, if base crook even supports
such a thing.

[Wikimedia-l] The conversation is happening elsewhere :(

2016-02-16 Thread Asaf Bartov
Dear colleagues,

These are difficult and confusing times.  Many of you are puzzled or
receiving partial and possibly contradictory bits and pieces of news.

As a service to the community, I feel I must point out that significantly
more conversation is taking place -- for whatever reason -- on the (public)
Wikipedia Weekly facebook group[1].

Without endorsing that choice of venue (the issues with Facebook are fairly
well-known), it does appear that if you want significantly more
information, you should head on over there and read through the last couple
of weeks' posts. (much information is in the comments)

(if you are inspired to collect and preserve useful information from there
on Meta, that would be best.)

In solidarity,

   Asaf
