Lowering the edit counts sounds good, it does however also have a downside, in that it makes it easier to vote using sockpuppets or meatpuppets.
I agree with voices speaking out against giving voting rights based on donations; I do also think giving people voting rights based only on being 'readers' basically means giving it out to random people. There's two groups I would be first thinking of when extending the voting populace. The first is those with commit rights on the Mediawiki code (I'd feel a single commit in the last year would be enough - in general having been granted commit right shows already that one is active as a Mediawiki community member). The second would be participants of Wikimania or other Wikimedia or chapter events (using a specific but extensive list). -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
