Here's a recent article from The Economist. Some of the reader comments about
the article were interesting, especially considering the population that is
likely to be reading and commenting about an article in The Economist.
Dear fellows,
Here is the Activity Report of Wikimedia España (WMES) from October 2013 to
February 2014. Please forgive the delay.
All the reports are avaliable on these links:

Preferable for the affiliation to be a variable linked to the username. It
can then be changed if/when applicable. Is should be possible to link a
string of affiliations to a username. User should be able to add
affiliations at will but probably should have to request to have them
removed

Hence the suggestion that the user has to request removal.

Do WMF accounts still get the staff usergroup?
Most accounts of staff and contractors do not get that usergroup: it is
a very highly privileged group that includes pretty much every
permission on every wiki, and access to it is on a strictly-needed basis.
Dear Wikimedians,
On the recommendation of the Wikimania 2015 selection Jury Committee, we have
accepted the proposal from Mexico DF to host. The proposal will be further

Hi Mike,
Sure. Both were open discussions, and no decisions were taken or specific
proposals developed. And neither topic is in any way limited to being a
board discussion: both are broad-ranging topics concerning all of us. We
took these up to, as a board, have some time to step back and think

But, in seriousness, James: the Foundation is not going to be active on
stuff like pushing for community broadband.
I came across Pete Forsyth's blog on the upcoming TOU amendment at:

and it raises quite a few interesting talking points.
Thought you all might like to take a peek and discuss.
