We've confirmed through experimental visits to San Francisco that James can in fact exist outside the UK in a stable state. But let's face it -- we'll either see some significant changes in James' Britishness, or we'll see Californians increasingly pick up some new and strange habits. I'm betting it's the latter. On a more personal note, it's kind of funny - James and I probably most frequently touched base in person at Wikimania, so whenever he visits I get flashbacks of Wikimanias past. With James joining, and some other recent additions, it's really gratifying to see WMF be more and more a reflection of who we are. We're very lucky that the timing has aligned for James to join us for the Visual Editor project; I highly doubt we would have been able to find the combination of skills (deep community expertise, ability to ship product, technical depth) otherwise. He's an old colleague and friend, and I look forward to working more closely with him. :-) -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
