Hello,
The relicensing process is underway. This means we have only 2 months
to help GFDL wikis that want Wikipedia compatibility to follow suit.
The clause that allows GFDL wikis to be relicensed to CC-BY-SA 3
expires on August 1 of this year.
I am crossposting this from the licensing thread
Thanks for your fantastic work across the board. I do hope that this goodbye
only marks an end of formal involvement, and that you can still come along
from time to time. :)

Hm, that was also the information I got :)
Besides that, I personally feel that one week in the middle of the
vacation is somewhat short for an internet election. Is there an
urgent reason not to have it for two weeks? And good luck to count and
confirm the votes within two days time! :o I'd find

The point I was making is that I expect people will continue importing
and exporting as per past practice with no attention given to the
issue and few people caring. From a legal point of view that's not
optimal, but I think it's highly likely.

I'm not sure the new SecurePoll software is yet set up to allow for

My understanding is that SecurePoll can handle the type of vote we're
