In the interests of clarity, does the soft limit apply by calendar month? I don’t think Gerard is disrespectful so much as brusque in his communication style. Perhaps this is due to communicating in what is for him a foreign language. Cheers, Peter -Original Message- From: Wikimedia-l [m

James and others, The question of whether the WMF ought or ought not to have a roadmap is an interesting one, which I enourage you to debate not with me but with Wes Moran and the other members of the WMF leadership, for whom it is an actionable point. My question is addressed to that leadership,

Hoi, We do not care about our own. I do acknowledge that some have other opinions but I do not have to respect such an opinion. The proof of the pudding is after all in the eating and we allowed this to happen, no sound came out of our community that said otherwise. The fact of the matter is obser

The Foundation doesn't have a product roadmap because new product goals are updated at least once a year; more often internally. A roadmap as described in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_roadmap is appropriate when long term plans are under centralized control and not subject to change. The

While we are on the subject of the meaning of words, to me a road map is a map of the road system. Something we used before we had talking GPS to navigate to unfamiliar places when travelling by car. Cheers, Peter -Original Message- From: Wikimedia-l [mailto:wikimedia-l-boun...@lists.wik

Hoi, Rogol... the past... whose past? When you argue that we have to learn from the past, it is good to accept current polities of a project as an argument but such an argument has to convince us all. I have experience and I dispair. I find that policies that are external to me should be accepted
