What?
* The purpose of this email is to presumably get us to tell our
communities, as that is the purpose of this list.
* Google Hangouts is no bigger barrier than so many other tools, including
a wiki for those who are new editors. It is available, and we use it, if
you can think of a new form because you see the hurdle as being too large,
then please make a suggestion.
* No one is forced to do anything around here, it is an option available
to all.
Some people need to stop their seemingly negative attitudes to everything.
Criticism is only useful when it offers beneficial and useful alternatives.
When it is apparently all negative and continually so it becomes a whine,
and some of us tune right out.
Thanks Quiddity, nice initiative, and I will see if I can rouse some
enWSians to give it a go and present a sisters perspective.
Regards, Billinghurst

We should get a proper sample from *readers*, not only
active
contributors
who happen to be reading this list. We should not use
such a non-wiki
medium as Google Hangouts which is a participation barrier. We should
not
force people to do surveys.
I suggest we put a small feedback textbox in the sidebar of all
Wikimedia
projects, below everything above the langs list, and
analyse output from
that.

Please pass this along. Thank you!
