Hello all, I think it is important to analyse issues objectively rather than subjectively if we want to go forward and learn from our experiences. We bring with us into our professional lives our personal strengths and weaknesses as we are human. Criticism is good. Constructive criticism of both others and ourselves is important if we want to improve the movement. Let us move on as better human beings. Thanks Hisham for your contribution.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Farewell
Srikanth, a question: Does your email mean to suggest that while the IP/Hisham has been unresponsive the Chapter has always been responsive? The logical corollary is that IP/Hisham has been responsive at times when the Chapter or individuals have not been able to help and I would think this to be true. In general, what do we learn from your email? That everyone must be helpful to everyone else all the time? I think what's important is that you did get the support you were looking for from someone within the community and that will hold true irrespective of who helped and when, right? Thank you.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Farewell
Hi all, Whatever has been done through the IP, both the community and WMF are equally responsible. It is not good to attribute failure or sucess to anyone. When some one is leaving any movement, it is basic courtesy to wish him well. By doing so, he or she will have good memories of the movement and may remain a life long ambassador for us. This is not the time to evaluate anyone's performance.
