I think the discussion about post-mortems is vitally important, so I'm adding a new subject line for the discussion about the venue. I was one of the people involved in the discussion of post-mortems, and I'll add my comments to the original thread (and summarize what others have said) in a moment. -Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]]

I can agree with what you're saying, Craig. I can also understand what Brandon is saying - that some people prefer that interface.
Unlike many Facebook pages, though, this one is not public and cannot be viewed by anyone who does not have a FB account. It's the one venue that many interested parties cannot even read, let alone participate in, unless they're willing to give up some fairly significant privacy. I am disappointed, but I do not hold it against anyone for preferring to discuss issues in a venue not associated with Wikimedia.

there's anything to be done about the resulting balkanisation of the discussion.

I really wonder why wikimedia discussions have migrated to FB. Are we applying for a grant?

As has already been explained on this list, many people do not have

to Facebook. If this is something germane and useful to a lot of
people
on
this list, perhaps it would be appropriate to ask Jonathan to post
it
here.
