That's in 3 weeks; I'm not convinced that a piece of substantive, useful research about global reach could be done in that time period even if I could drop everything I currently have (which I can't). This problem is too big and too important to be scheduled around meetings; things should work the other way around. Scott Hale and I have been working on a paper looking at global reach and how it tracks with internet access growth, in the context of editing, particularly looking at the mobile web. That, we should be done with by then; presenting it could be highly useful (Scott? ;p) > > Pine > > This is an Encyclopedia > One gateway to the wide garden of knowledge, where lies > The deep rock of our past, in which we must delve > The well of our future, > The clear water we must leave untainted for those who come after us, > The fertile earth, in which truth may grow in bright places, tended by many > hands, > And the broad fall of sunshine, warming our first steps toward knowing how > much we do not know. > —Catherine Munro > > > > On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 1:25 AM, Oliver Keyes <oke...@wikimedia.org> wrote: >> >> That is the question, and I agree with your conclusion.
