I think the page just needs to be started. ok. i added the page with a note "placeholder" and i've noted the existence of http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Technology_Infrastructure_Task_Force so thank you for drawing my attention to that. > (note: for anyone interested in a general class of proposals like > this, the task force pages listed at > http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Emerging_strategic_priorities all > need to have links to the relevant proposals added to them, and new > task forces can be started). ahh..... waitwaitwait ... i've seen one of those... yep: http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposal:Foundations_for_Interactive_Articles i'll see if i can find others. > Also, as a general gentle reminder, I don't think any of the proposals > you list were made in bad faith; someone clearly thought there were > benefits to be had as well, yes, definitely. the presentation of some kinds of scientific and mathematical material can definitely benefit from an interactive or complex display: it's just that the risks and costs of using flash, java, silverlight or other browser plugin are just way too high to be worth it. > and maybe those benefits and (alternative) > ways to get them would be worth focusing on. yes. that's kinda ... yeh :) thanks phoebe. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
