Please address them seperately 1. Blaming community for the organizational management failures of WMF India program (read Ravi once gain : "Indian Wikimedia office was burnt out precisely because of this negative approach from the community." , and a WMF Board member giving +100 to that) . When you are working on an accountable position in front of a community there will be questions and critiques always. This is a usual phenomenon . Blaming the community for the organizational failures of WMF India team is not the solution for that . Ravisankar and Bishakha have a moral responsibility to explain this critique, since this is different from whatever WMF told us so far . I hope they will respond and close this thread 2. CIS A2K team. I have hope in this program and I wish them all success. Also seconds all points raised by Ashwin and extending my support to the team. ~ Regards Anivar
