Thanks,
Lodewijk

- In Katherine's email, there was no timeline, but it was the last
substantive email. While your response did have some helpful process

no
Hi Lodewijk,
As shared previously, an update is forthcoming during the month of
September. I struggle a bit with the statement "the last month of silence,"
when Katherine, Chen, and myself have been in active communication with
the community on this topic via either wiki-l or the Conference and
As this is being explicitly imposed by the board from above without
community approval, participating in any way is ethically unsound. Doubly

about as good as a fart in the wind. I'd prefer the WMF keep its
Yeah, we've seen from the branding fiasco just how much the imperial

The model is terribly broken
On the contrary, I do not think this is an imposition by the Board or WMF

Some thoughts over the matter:
Wikipedia has already rules about how the users should interact and the
