Thank you for sharing the news, Quim. Following Quim's announcement, there was also, for the first time since nearly 1,000 Wikimedians requested the Foundation address this issue in 2014,[1] a formal statement about it from the organization's leadership. Executive Director Lila Tretikov said today in the live-streamed, monthly Metrics & Activities meeting:
"We wanted to remove Superprotect. Superprotect set up a precedent of mistrust, and this is something it was really important for us to remove, to at least come back to the baseline of a relationship where we're working together, we're one community, to create a better process. To make sure we can move together faster, and to make sure everybody is part of that process, everybody is part of that conversation, and not just us at WMF."[2] -Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Letter_to_Wikimedia_Foundation:_Superprotect_and_Media_Viewer [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePV-7nhO-z0#t=18m50s _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
