Hi,
Many of you will be aware that there has been a bit of flak about the
referendum/plebiscite/consultation about the image filter.
John Vandenburg posted this
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2011-September/067889.htm…
the Foundation mailing list.
Unless anyone has a better response to make, I'll post that RCOM
collectively was not consulted, though I don't know if any individual RCOM
members were consulted about those questions.
Cheers

I opened section "Science" in Wikizine. As Wikizine is about
Wikimedia, the section "Science" is about science around Wikimedia.
In the 127th edition of Wikizine [1] I'll publish information about
the paper "Investigating editing anxiety in new users" and RCom's
meeting yesterday (sorry for not participating, I totally forgot for
the meeting two hours before it started; although I was preparing for
the meeting around 15 UTC).
If someone else from RCom is willing to help me in covering scientific
news from Wikimedia, it would be great.
