Hi everyone!
This Conversation with the Foundation Board of Trustees is coming up next week
on October 20, 2021 at 11:00 UTC [1].
Based on requests we received, we have coordinated Spanish interpretation for
this conversation. If you would like to hear the call in Spanish, you will need

To echo Risker, I'd encourage the use of more advanced tools by voters. On
meta, I've pointed to the two tools that hopefully help:

That's a pretty grim way of looking at things. I could find a bigger
problem with the fact that the main page has images of the candidates, of
varying quality, aspect

The underlying problem is that we ended up with 70+ candidates for the
MCDC. We
Thank you for the Election Compass!
While the quantitative ranking was not very useful for me, these clear
statements and concise answers by all candidates helped me a lot in the
decision, and also the Election Compass tool was quite decent to explore
them. The process of wider community input to
Hello Tito -
"Supporting flexible naming for all affiliates, including the use of
taglines" means two things.
First, affiliates can continue using the names they choose. Second, new
work will be undertaken to develop short phrases ("taglines") that
affiliates can use optionally to show
Cool. How do we find those pages from the advertised tools? Were they
shared here before (sorry if I missed them), or can we still vote on
them somewhere?
Or would it be fairer now to the candidates to let their statements
stand alone and for people to vote based on those alone, rather than

Yea, the mobile app is sweet, editing and all.

Dear all,
I don't know if this already has a name, but I'm going to invent one: The Great
Circle of Excuse. It works like this: we have all realized that something needs
to be improved, let's say the design of our website. Then, WMF gets a group of
workers to think about it, and they come up

Regular contributors experience is quite different from less frequent
contributors and (above all) readers. People into user interfaces design
surely have a proper word for this, but we're used to a variety of small

Thanks Galder for the provocative thread and Jonathan for your reflections
(in this thread and in issues elsewhere, past and present).
Galder -- I'm thinking about how to refactor your observations to make them
less personal, more general, easier to work with.

Hi Elena,
I can't attend this live, since it is happening during the working day
in Europe.
Please could you commit to sharing a recording (and multilingual audio)

Hi all,
A good example around this subject was the Visual Editor tool
implementation, strongly opposed by the community in the beginning, and
developed by the WMF, as it was probably necessary to turn Wikipedia into a
more modern website.
A lot about the latter can be found and read as a real
Is the tool superb ?? There is no knowing, because unless one knows the
name of the software, one cannot locate it.
So, immediately version 1.1 is needed where we can search by Category...
Otherwise, it is useless.

No, I don't have all the answers. Is just that every time someone says: "hey!
this is broken!" and receives an excuse and then says again "HEY! THIS IS
BROKEN!" the answer is not: "ok, we'll try to figure out how to solve it" but:

Thanks Dan for using the Excuse 6: At this point in the circle, there is some
volunteer who wants to fix this and raises the tone of the request. Then we
