The CC license gives us the assurance that the problem is recoverable. The question is WMF's role the recovery. HHVM is promising evidence that the WMF is open to technical innovation within a single layer of the infrastructure, but note that that has been driven from within the WMF, resourced by the WMF and I believe peopled by the WMF. What is needed is a framework (technical and organisational) that allows for similar innovation to be done by non-WMF people in areas that the WMF agrees with in principal but considers not a resourced priority. I certainly see no evidence of that. cheers stuart _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
