Hi!
/me notes "the bureaucracy and hierarchy of WMF is as complicated as ... some christian denominacions which claim their apostelic traditions
:-) yeah, all that stuff to prove there is no cabal..
nothing in details for what they contributed to the Foundation. And as far as I know, many of them believe they donate for hardware purchase. It would be good to inform them how their former donations were used.
Haha, well, the best report for what tech team is doing is that site is still up. ;-) All our major hardware purchases (well, other stuff than a meter of UTP cable) are shown on meta pages, and reports used to be more of an overview of problems and visions.
is spent for those. Or it was done under the name of WMF. Other kinds of reports are therefore informative and helpful to develop the Foundation's and consequently our own activities on the projects.
I sure agree that it is nice to communicate :) I also believe that method for that should be part of our common sense :)
Anyway, I think that at least tech stuff is pretty transparent for those who care. We're communicating (and always online :) in IRC, there's active mailing list, our wikis (and logs in them) are public, yadda yadda. Some guys even read village pump ;-) If only everyone around would provide that much of information about activities ;-)
So we expect you remember other present and important issues clearly, including the informally proposed Houserule for Wikimania?
I'm rebellious, surely not following that one. :)
