Daniel, regarding the sites management:
Since the last activity on the discussion page was from August 26, and the last substantial change to the RFC itself was from August 21, and the patch set has been there since September 12 -- without any comments, by the way -- I hope you find it understandable when I express a certain frustration with a comment like "it still needs discussion". This change to the code is blocking us. If it needs discussion, then please discuss it. But being silent for several weeks, even a month, while people are working on this and spending resources at this, and then suddenly saying "oh wait, I think it still needs some discussion" is not very respectful of the work done by others. We have invited for discussion several times, and you have been one of the most active in the discussions. So, please, at least be as helpful as to say what imperfection in the current state of affairs irks you, so that we can discuss them and work on them. Otherwise your comment merely leads to an increase in frustration, and I do not see how it helps us improve MediaWiki. Sorry if the words are received as harsh, Denny 2012/9/20 Daniel Friesen <dan...@nadir-seen-fire.com>: > On Wed, 19 Sep 2012 12:53:54 -0700, Denny Vrandečić > <denny.vrande...@wikimedia.de> wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> here's our weekly list of Wikidata review items.
