Incorrect. In such a long text, "we" can obviously refer to both "the Foundation" and "the community" (both of which Erik is a member of), depending on context. There would be little point in Erik asking "Do we want discussions to occur in document mode, or in a structured comment mode?" on a public mailing list, when he just wants to ask a Foundation-internal question, right? Pretty obvious, really, unless your goal is to distract from the actual topic. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
