I am really very sad to see you go. Most probably we first talked on 10 November 2012 when i sent my identification details to WMF and you attended. And later when I contacted you twice or thrice on on-Wiki harassement (IAC, legal threats etc.) I know we did not agree to some topics (ODoB, Indian

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Collaboration team reprioritization

I don't know how Wikimedia engineering tracks project resource usage - is there a number out there for the total cost to the WMF associated with the Flow project? At a basic minimum, the number of developer and other hours dedicated to Flow (including fully dedicated contractors)? Is it likely

Thank you for all the great work you've done over the years. I hope your health improves quickly and fully, and I will see you around on wiki with us blocking the wrong people, protecting the wrong version, and editing the wrong articles together. KTC On 31/08/2015 20:01, Philippe Beaudette
