This seems a very reasonable mid-term solution for the impasse. One year should be enough so that community can adjust it self for the non-captcha world, without the pressure of a tight schedule, and allowing to get ride of emergency captcha by it's own decision, and at the same time, a fixed one year deadline would, like you've said, alleviate some concerns about the principles. I believe that if this solution gets well explained to local community, it'll provably be understood, and i can try it if needed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
