I invite an open discussion here of the candidates. This is your community, speak openly of who you trust and why.
Well, I'll start off then.
One of the candidates I support is Kim Bruning. He has been willing to honestly engage in a detailed discussion about "free" on Wikipedia and look into my suggestions on improving the encyclopaedia with an open mind. (Some discussions, for example, on your talk page.)
I very much endorse this view. Kim Bruning has ever been thoughtful. I have never seen or heard him step wrong in any substantial matter.
WP:BITE is pretty important, as it helps shape the attitude of every new member. So you are on my yes list.
Another No from me is Linuxbeak - I don't know him except to know he holds lots of senior posts, but he hasn't replied to this query from August: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk% 3ALinuxbeak&diff=422106&oldid=421209 which is not what I look for in someone who is planning to represent me.
