After re-reading what I wrote, I think that I came across as being irritated, and I'm sorry about that. I was rushing to get that email out, and I should have slowed down. Let me try this again.
With the hope that some folks on Wikitech-l may be interested in this invitation to the Wikimedia Café, I am sharing it here. There may be some feeling on Wikitech-l that these invitations are not sufficiently technical, and if I get the sense that there is a consensus on Wiitech-l that these invitations are distractions unless there are technical subjects on the agenda then I will respect that decision and refrain from sharing Wikimedia Café invitations to Wikitech-l except when there are technical subjects on the agenda. However, I hope that there will be general interest in the Cafe..Anyone is welcome to add a topic to the agenda. Apologizes again for being hasty and for sounding irritated in my previous email.
