I don't know any of these people personally, but $128k a year for a legal
expert of Mike Godwin's stature and experience sounds like a bargain, not an
unreasonable expense. Given that WMF needs competent legal representation,
and given that the WMF is not exactly flush with cash, we should be than
ofiteering, they could do so far more
quickly and easily by going and working for a big city law or accounting
firm.

Let me again say that it's great that the foundation actually asked editors
what they thought. Clearly the actual design of the survey left much to be
desired - people wanted a question along the lines of "is this filter a good
idea (y/n)," and didn't get one. I'm a bit disappointed that for as m
I'd caution against putting too much faith in those raw numbers without a
clear understanding of what they mean. They can make sense comparing
different language editions of the same project, but comparing different
projects is apples and oranges. For instance, some months ago I was doing

Personally, I find the whole "WikiLove" extension to be a bit naff and
schmaltzy. I'm generally not thrilled when I get a WikiLove kitten or
anything, just like I'm not touched that my local member of Parliament has
thought to send me a form letter about how hard they're working for me.
It's harm

But then again, I suppose that's just what I *would* say, right?

Hi All,
Firstly, congratulations to Phillipe on a very richly deserved promotion!
I'm sure that you will do very well in your new role.
However, I must concur with Lodewijk in stating that the idea behind the
new department is still not entirely clear to me. It's not about advocacy
and lobbying
I had wanted to keep out of this, but this is the third or fourth time
that Jan-Bart has been referred to as "Jan". It was an understandable
enough mistake to make the first time, but it's been pointed out
enough now that that is no longer an excuse. We do not all have to be

eloquent than I can summarise those reasons, but I think that they were
valid. John Vandenberg is correct that if people are consistently
abstaining to avoid making hard or unpopular decisions then that is a
problem, but
