Well... Maybe just because software development requires at least some basic knowledge of programming, and cannot be performed by voting only? I guess some feedback from Wikipedia community is welcome - but quite obviously programmers cannot work in a manner of discussing and voting every line of code they are assumed to produce... -- Tomek "Polimerek" Ganicz http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Polimerek http://www.ganicz.pl/poli/ http://www.ptchem.lodz.pl/en/TomaszGanicz.html _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
