I'm pretty sure it's just you, and I hope it's just you. :-)  Can you
paste the URL of the page you're referring to?

Pages like  are a
bit outdated, though.

Thanks all!

I stuck a couple notes on my blog (also some stuff about upcoming goodness
in StatusNet 1.0 in that post!) -
http://leuksman.com/log/2011/03/07/hotel-mediawiki-you-can-check-out-but-you-can-never-leave/

My overarching goal for MediaWiki (and elsewhere in Wikimedia-land) is
making sure that the software stays out of peoples' way when they're trying
to get stuff done. There's a lot of low-hanging fruit in the UI, but making
the whole markup<->editing pipeline smooth is going to be an interesting
process, especially when we really start diving into the terrors of document
structure and reconceiving templates and the parser internals for a
human-friendly world -- and migrating to it over time... muwahahahahaha :D

I've taken the liberty of updating that page, though it should probably
either be expanded or consolidated (if there's a better list of WMF
governance pages to point at)
