Dear Ms. Tretikov,
Would you please speak on the new revision of the "Access to Non-Public

Erik (and others), is there any coordination page where groups could place,
take, or discuss "requests for development" or "requests for maintenance"?
I saw often that sometimes the hard-to-achieve consensus is found, but

Just as a quick update from WMCH - we are currently discussing our

We will, of course, keep you guys posted.
