That's a good point (that I think has been made and partially addressed in the past), and I don't to detract from it at all, but let's also note the difficulty of scheduling off-hours "office hours" for WMF staff members - they participate during their own work day, which for US-based staff of course means business hours in the Americas range. ~Nathan _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
