I'd consider their signing of a lease on a new place to be "newsworthy". By the time they actually move I'd consider the move to be "old news". And if they haven't yet signed a lease on a new place, I'd be quite surprised. In fact, I'm not even sure if they've started to "actually move" yet. The completion of the move is what isn't worthy of a press release. Personally I don't care whether the WMF tells us about its move or not. But waiting until after the move is completed to announce it is strange. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
