It's likely that at some point, someone said to Lila "I don't think building a new Internet search engine to take on Google is within our (educational) mission". Perhaps that's where her "strategic conflict" story came from. It's a good point, but it's certainly not the only problem with the proposal, and it wasn't the subject of the complaints made against her. The conflict between Lila and the rest of the staff was over process, not strategy. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
