Please don't forget that there's a huge online community that all have different interests and pay particular attention to certain things - some clearly with the WMF as evident from this mailing list thread. Thus, in the future (this is for both Board members and WMF staff) it would be much better, when announcing *any* potentially controversial changes like this to *proactively* provide such documents, than potentially give the impression that you are intentionally trying to hide something by waiting for a community member to request it. -- Thehelpfulone http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Thehelpfulone _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
