Re: [Wikimedia-l] June 4 1800 Maggie Dennis office hour (with a twist)

Hello, all! The notes of the hour are out now! Apologies for the delay; I wanted to get answers to a few questions that came in after the session and where I wasn't able to answer at the time before reading a link. They have been marked for translation.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] June 4 1800 Maggie Dennis office hour (with a twist)

Hello, I'm trying to respond to this calmly here. I request we think about the issues from some more angles. I feel somewhat defensive, but not combative. I hope that this makes sense. English Wikipedia took an enormous amount of volunteer effort to build, and volunteers are people too. Some

(I won't make this personal and this is *not* to *anyone* or about any past incident in specific.) But I second Legoktm on this. That was surprising to me as well. We have pages and essays on Wikipedia such as * IPs are human too ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPs_are_human_too), * Arbs

Re: [Wikimedia-l] June 4 1800 Maggie Dennis office hour (with a twist)

I agree. youtube  (+zoom) and chat worked very well. I still had problem follow all that being said, and would like the "black" notice to have been used more and show (just a few seconds) the question being discussed. And besides applauds for Maggie being straight forward, I also want to

Re: [Wikimedia-l] June 4 1800 Maggie Dennis office hour (with a twist)

Hi Pine, 1) For me, as non-native speaker, it really helps to see someone speak while I am hearing them. I applaud Maggie for doing this on screen. There is no need for recording, but the streaming really adds to my understanding of what is being said. 2) Though I realise that it may be a case

Agreed that office hours are a nice idea, although 1. For privacy reasons,I don't think that they need to be on video. Sue had them on IRC. In the Wikimedia Cafe several of us use audio only. 2. I'm digesting what Maggie said about the incidents of last July. I'm not sure that the version of

Greetings, Excellent news. A few years ago I got a chance to talk to you in details on some other stuff related to Wikipedia and that discussion was very helpful. I am sure, this call/initiative related to "community resilience and sustainability" will be really helpful. Good wishes. Thanks
