My sketchy touch-n-go during the Election period suggested fourtyeight
of fiftith (so presumably 95 or -6% of our all wikis) of our projects
provide the same message both to anon and registered.
That's good to know.
Another considerable thing is those meta-newcomers may
need the
description what the chapter is and is not. [[m:Wikimedia Japan]]
seemed to be a horrible example what unknowledgeable & not involved
editors can think out. An anon created this page and later registered
him- or herself as "Wikimedian" (in kana). Until today, most sane and
involved people of Japanese speaking projects seem to avoid being
involved to that discussion.
Absolutely. I think we need to move much further along in the process
of defining both the role of the Foundation and its Chapters before
trying such an experiment.
