Is there a link somewhere to the total budget and actual staff costs of the referendum?
This was asked very early on: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Image_filter_referendum/Archive1#Cost
Sorry, not the same question as expected costs of implementation. I am asking for the actual staff costs for running and analysing the referendum itself (so far) plus any further planned costs. This should be entirely known and openly reported.
Obviously as with any well managed project, there should be a number of kill points. If the outcome of paying further staff costs for detailed analysis is unclear beyond working out that mistakes were made and the results are not all that meaningful, then I would consider killing the rest of the project now and put the saved budget towards more useful programmes.
Thanks, Fae
