I don't participate in Commons (photography's not really my thing). But I *do* actively promote it as an awesome place to find free media. I was under the impression that the project had some time ago moved beyond simply being a technically convenient service project, and everyone was pretty well agreed on that. Am I wrong? Is this about the idea of Commons per se, or about issues with the individual people involved? -- phoebe _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
