Hoi, As far as I am concerned we have working and workable procedures. The problem that I see is that the primacy is not with the "community" in everything. We have multiple communities and there is no single subset that can claim sovereignty over everything with the possible exception of the board

Anders, I agree that there have been some positive developments in the WMF-community relationship over the last year or so. I think that we hit a rough patch in the past few months, and I'm hoping that it is behind us. Figuring out how to gauge community sentiment is a really hard problem. RfCs a

Hoi, You seek cultural change but what is it that you want to change? You are outspoken and as others commented an edge that is more than confrontational. My appreciation is one where I fail to see the connection with what we do, it is only about how we do it. That is in my opinion overrated. In m

Hi Rogol, Sure, I'd be glad to talk with you about this. I think that a more interactive discussion might be helpful. Would you be willing to meet me on IRC? If so, could you email me off-list so that we can set up a time and channel for a meeting? Thanks, Pine On Sun, Mar 5, 2017 at 2:21 AM,
