I agree with this as well, for those very reasons. This is the reason why Tool Labs insists that any "real" tool is run from multi-maintainer project equivalents, and with clear licensing. I would not allow user's own home directories to be turned over to a third party under any circumstances, this is why we want no code running there we might want to salvage in the future. And, likewise, I'm pretty sure the foundation wouldn't /want/ to be given custody over data that may or may not be private from contributors who have not given explicit leave to do so. -- Marc _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette
