[Foundation-l] The Foundation is not a wiki (was Re: RfC: Keypriorities for my work)

Indeed. Welcome back, Aphaia. By all accounts, take a break; you have
deservedly earned a nice vacation... now let's think where to send you...
would Taipei sound nice? ;) :)

As for Special:Boardvote, can Boardvote be separately installed in one
particular wiki, e.g. for ArbCom elections, (or any other local election,
for that matter) or would that expose the global Board election data? Can a
"localboardvote" user group solve that issue? 

Titoxd.

Hello,
Back online. (Mainly due to 'Mania 2007; I promised KJ to give a help
once. Would you sent me your expectations of potential guest/keynote
speakers, KJ?)

Thank you for your kind words and apologies for my rant. Following
advices, I'll take a break - after we've done post-mortem. For several
reasons I would like to keep a distance from the Wikimedia project for
a while. My availability will decrease but I'll be around there, not
completely leave.

Well, as for Boardvote, I expect developers are aware of, however for
the record I would like to stress that anyone who are granted
boardvote right can access to the detailed data of the global
Election. I think a local election is the board/foundation issue hence
rather offtopic on this list, and don't mind if a certain project uses
Boardvote extention (I know another certain Wikipedia which some
people would have liked to use this for local sysop votes ... ),
however, I stress that they can be given the access * only * after the
results of this Election flashed. No local votetaker are allowed per
se to access the private data of over 2300 editors around the world.
