Rushed? People had been asking for G11 for as long as I can remember.
It was going to happen sooner or later anyway, and a firm steer from
Foundation that spam, abuse of Wikipedia resources for self-promotion,
is an abuse and should be stamped on, is hardly a controversial idea.
I'm referring more to the post-Patrick handling more than the typical
cries for expansions of various criteria for speedy deletion.
Of course, we're deathly afraid of anything
that might actually benefit
someone outside of the project, to boot, so I guess I shouldn't be that
surprised by the general Office/Foundation reaction. I just chalk it up
to another one of those bizarre deals.
You have a strange view of things. The entire project is for the
benefit of people outside the foundation, mainly people like you and
me and my kids.
I don't think so. Look at how we handled Kohs and the Microsoft issue
and our COI guideline/policy - it's not meant to be flamebait, Kat,
thank you very much, but it's sometimes realy sad how we handle things
that may actually beenfit us as well as outside people financially.
