Hi all,
Thanks for your feedback, Steinsplitter. I have responded to your post at
,
so it might be best to continue our conversation there instead of
duplicating it here.
Gerard, was your post directed at me or at Steinsplitter? Am a bit confused.
I do agree with Chris; I don't think there should be any need to argue over
which project should have #1 priority. AFAIK several grants are awarded
every round, not just one, and there are multiple rounds every year.
Best regards,
Josephine

Hoi,
High priority is in the eyes of the beholder.. I want the quality of
Wikipedia to improve [1] and have a plan how to achieve that in a
measurable way. For me it seems that quality has no priority even though
the problem I address is real enough and even though there have not been
any flaws discovered in my reasoning. Your proposal is too abstract for me
and consequently I do not understand why it should have a priority.
Also there is plenty of money to go around.
Thanks,
GerardM

I think we should spend money for high-priority tasks such as building a
copyright detection tool for mp3 files (which are coming soon), etc.
Needless to say that most people on commons are not getting payed for
building tools[1].
