Not that it matters, but in his free time he's been volunteering with Wikipedia events, coding and editing for years. Regardless, though, he was just doing his job here -- as requested *by the board*, and specifically by me -- so please lay off the criticism of him. I have nothing but respect for our ultra-hard-working LCA team. -- phoebe -- phoebe _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
