Sorry, I should be clearer; the 'them' is 'the sort of people who would find a way to take offence...' So, to expand: I fully believe that the community should be factored into the decision-making process, directly and indirectly - but factored in is very different from being a trump card. If the argument is "there will be people who look at the API and think it's Us Doing The VisualEditor All Over Again", that's a bad argument, and the sort of people who would jump from 'the minimum viable product is not perfect' to 'everything is going to be terrible forever' are not people I am particularly interested in basing our decisions on, because anyone who _makes_ that cognitive leap is clearly not approaching things rationally, and so it becomes very hard to actually compromise with them - if compromising with them is actually worthwhile in the first place. -- 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
