I don't know any of these people personally, but $128k a year for a legal expert of Mike Godwin's stature and experience sounds like a bargain, not an unreasonable expense. Given that WMF needs competent legal representation, and given that the WMF is not exactly flush with cash, we should be

Let me again say that it's great that the foundation actually asked editors what they thought. Clearly the actual design of the survey left much to be desired - people wanted a question along the lines of is this filter a good idea (y/n), and didn't get one. I'm a bit disappointed that for as

I'd caution against putting too much faith in those raw numbers without a clear understanding of what they mean. They can make sense comparing different language editions of the same project, but comparing different projects is apples and oranges. For instance, some months ago I was doing some
