Nemo, my position is that it shouldn't be being
done at all because the
request is outside of the FDC's scope, and that assessment is done, then
community assessment will be more useful than a quasi-official, partial
assessment by a conflicted group that isn't "staff", has no experience
using the analytical metrics, and doesn't have the wherewithal to do a
complete the full assessment. The FDC does not have its own staff; it has
WMF staff appointed to assist them by creating staff assessments, in accord
with the FDC structure approved by the Board. The FDC doesn't get to pick
who does the assessments.
Risker, I understand your view. However, we believe that there is value in
having a spectrum of views, and also in not putting WMF staff in a position
where they assess a project which includes their own department. WMDE staff
has a lot of experience in using different metrics, and understands our
movement. The FDC can request any the movement stakeholders specifically
for comments, and so it did.
