First of all, I also think that we cannot expect us to fulfill our mission by having all the world visiting our sites. A good percentage of that mission probably needs to be fulfilled elsewhere thanks to our free licenses and APIs. On Tue, Jan 19, 2016 at 11:06 AM, Magnus Manske

We are not "seeing movement" by a vague statement of "we're working on it". In the case of James Heilman, they said essentially the same thing. What resulted was a vague statement that used a lot of words to say nothing at all. There needs to be full disclosure and specifics, not a lot of waffle.
