Comet, I'm currently of the mind that it would be a good idea to shine the bright light of day on some of the situation inside of WMF to help us get a clear picture of the facts, from which I hope we can draw reasonable conclusions and help us to make choices that lead to improvements. At this time we have a lot of speculation and causes for concern, but we are short on facts. I agree that donors are likely to be interested in this situation and that it should be investigated. While I share many of your concerns, I would caution against going too far. I particularly cringe at your characterization of the board members other than James; for all we know their concerns about James may have been appropriate, even if we are understandably upset at how they handled the situation.
So, while I too am disappointed with this situation, I would also suggest that we need to be a little bit careful about how we talk about speculation, allegations, and single-source reports. I would also urge you, as much as possible even when you're angry, to be careful in your comments that could step over the line between justified criticism and unjustified personal attacks. Let's try to be civil, even when we're angry. Thank you, Pine _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
