It is time for one of my very rare List Decrees. Antoine: you were a little too grumpy there in how you phrased this, but I understand where you're coming from. The ee list had 98 messages in February; wikitech-l had 993. You're right that we need to keep the list (mostly) on-topic. Pine: you're exaggerating a little bit in your characterization, but you have a point -- there is room for the occasional pleasant semi-related post to brighten people's day. I have done morale- and camaraderie-building stuff on this list, like celebrating new maintainers, or starting that Appreciation thread back in August. Pine and Antoine: I value your contributions to the Wikimedia community and I ask you to take a breath, value each other, and share the WikiLove. Thanks. -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
