I have not commented on this issue since that script
was created, so
the suggestion that I said you couldn't use it is not true. I don't
see what this has to do with the board. All sysops can see deleted
articles, and the board certainly doesn't go round approving all sysop
applications. I'm getting fed up of everything people don't like being
blamed on a board decision when no such decision was ever made. You
get to see deleted articles by being a sysop and your application for
that was rejected by the community, not the board.
Calm down, Angela. I asked Kate about how to get access to the scripts, and
she said I had to talk to the board. Here's the conversation from IRC:
<anthony> kate, what's this thing about kate's scripts?
<kturner> anthony?
<anthony> you said something about getting permission from the foundation to
run them
<kturner> I asked if I could make it available to all users. The Board of
Directors told me not to
<kturner> so presumably it's up to them to give permission
<anthony> when you say the board told you not to, do you mean someone in
particular, or this was brought up at a board meeting?
<kturner> by 'told' i mean I said 'should i do this?' on irc and
someone
said 'probably not'
<kturner> and since i don't care that much, i didn't
<anthony> no I'm just wondering who to talk to
<anthony> angela, apparently
<kturner> this was angela
I guess I was misinformed.
