Personally, I think it would be a big improvement if the Code of Conduct Committee were to include at least person from the so-called "Enterprise MediaWiki" community: people who use or develop MediaWiki outside of the Wikimedia Foundation or any Wikimedia site, such as people who run it at their company. I think it would bring a perspective that may be lacking in the committee at the moment (just judging from the current members' short bios), and could help to prevent some kind of ideological lockstep from forming. If it's not done through elections, maybe it could be done through a quota system or something... -Yaron _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
