Geoffrey,
I have been working with Luis and other guys as translators for years.
Their devotion is much appreciated and I know them thoughtful, patient
and experience Wikimedians who are deeply concerned about their
project and thus its relationship to the real world.
Personally I am afraid Jimmy is too relying on his personal recent
experience and tend to weigh less those people from the lusophone
editing community than it should be, specially in the circumstance no
objection toward them and support for the "chapter guys" has come from
the editing community. "Believe me, he is a good guy" is no strong
argument at least for me which esteem those wikipedian's long
experience, devotion and their usual patient attitude to deal with
things.
Cheers,

If you are convinced that this is not personal, and
that there is an issue, then please provide evidence. Otherwise, this looks like bunch of
people who are unhappy because their proposal wasn't passed.

Jimmy, again, the problem isn't personal. Please, dont't try to take this
way.

the fact.
Of course I want Thomas close to us, fighting with us, but I cant't
believe
in dictatorship.
If you really want to help us, you can speak with your friend Thomas
about
those problemas. What do you think?
In my experience with Thomas, he does not seem like the kind of person
who would be denying the opportunity for people to debate, and indeed,
he was quite clear with me that he's not a dictator (indeed, I got quite
the opposite idea from him, that he's a believer in lots of independent
action loosely coordinated... the wiki way).
I am meeting Thomas on Friday, and of course this will be our main topic
of conversation.
I really think these issues should be quite easy to resolve.
