Actually, having co-drafted the Vision Statement (it was drafted at the October 2006 Board retreat in Frankfurt and then finalized after community discussion), I can assure you that that was not the intent. I recall that Florence and I talked about that specific aspect a fair bit. We proposed the language "share in" over "given free access to" in order to emphasize that it's not a one-directional process (some treasure trove of knowledge that you are given access to), but a process we are creating an opportunity to participate in. It could be made clearer, but that was the intent. -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
