--- Comment #36 from Greg Grossmeier <g...@wikimedia.org> ---
Hello Rob,
I'm Greg Grossmeier, Release Manager for the Wikimedia Foundation (basically,
manager for deployments of Mediawiki and extensions to our servers that host
all WMF projects).
I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for your effort on this
extension thus far. You and your team have put a lot of good faith effort into
it and I/we appreciate that.
Unfortunately, at this time, we're in the same boat as Mozilla and Opera: we
need to see a tangible use case supported by a large (absolute, not percentage,
necessarily) number of users. I, at least, generally agree with what you are
attempting to do with Memento (I have a Library Science degree and worked on
metadata stuff with the W3C and Schema.org while at Creative Commons), but the
time needed to do this right at the WMF is too high for us right now with the
current expected payoff; we're time and budget constrained just as much as any
other non-profit and there are currently higher priorities items in our queue
that directly benefit the Wikimedia community.
No reason this couldn't change in the future, but it would need to be something
along the lines of at least one major browser supporting Memento.
Thanks for your understanding,
Greg
