Eric said:<br>"lining up with decisions that have been made."<br><br>like a red rag to a bull, but I better check what you actually mean by that Eric? It sounds like "accept what you are given", is that what you mean?<br><br>I keep seeing new features added without anyone in this email list requesting them, while there have been plenty of requests and suggestions made to this email list and they seem to largely go ignored, or get lost with obscure largely non progressive responses. I would even say defensive - which is not a good sign at all!<br><br>Many of the features Wayne and you have introduced are pretty good though, but it is a concern that they are introduced without any evident consultation with the "community" while the "community" requests seem to go by without even a trial! Yes, I consider myself in that community...<br><br>Brent is the only person who has replied to my concerns about the RSS problem. He has replied twice with practical suggestions. One was to contact the extension author and see if he can fix it. I did, and no reply from the author. The next response from Brent was for the administrator to update the RSS extension and see if that fixes the problem. This strikes me as a reasonably simple step (compared to LT and Kaltura efforts), but as yet the suggestion has had no response from an administrator, but a surprise release of Kaltura did get announced... I think action on the RSS issue is over due.<br><br>I have pushed the RSS update request to the point of nagging, but no response or action from the administrator leads to second guessing!<br><br>I too hope this community (or I) do not begin second guessing WE, as a hell of a lot has been invested in it this end. But I'm getting a strong sense of "take what you are given", and a centralised administration with an agenda that is neither documented or discussed in this forum.<br><br>A working RSS is an essential feature in this day and age. At least as important as the primary features of the MediaWiki as it is out of the box. But I'm nagging again. I hate having to nag, but some response that shows consideration made to the suggestions made by Brent would be great. Or perhaps administration powers shared for the purpose of fixing this problem. Or, some constructive response!<br><br>Sorry if it seems that I am escalating this, its just that I am alarmed by your last message Eric,
