It affects our efforts more directly since we provide the ability to

I have been working very hard on these projects to help the Foundation and your assessment is very accurate and informed.

I have a nicely private working wiki with the last dump of Portuguese Wikisource for personal tests and research using MediaWiki 1.>>8alpha<< (and some extensions) sincronized from subversion repository in a Ubuntu Linux machine and I never needed to ask something in foundation-l or in any another mail listing on how to get it working (the only know issue is the non display of Commons media, but this isn't a bug, is only a limitation). My real work isn't related to IT, I'm a historian. Jeff, please STOP talking about your efforts related to translation machines on this list. I and anothers spend only free time to devote to Wikimedia projects and these off-topic messages is time spendend in non-Wikimedia efforts in a Wikimedia only list.
If you (or anothers) need to reply something to me about this message, do it only privately.
Thanks for you attention and understanding
