Wikia, as was said elsewhere, is one of the biggest Mediawiki users out there and therefore has, in my opinion, probably the best incentive to make sure that Mediawiki develops in a way that makes sense for the users.
And what better way to do that then to have people come down to the Wikia office and work on improving Wikia's software, while the Wikimedia Foundation pays for not only the developers, but rent on the space they
use
while developing!
This is a bizarre attitude. Mediawiki is an open source software package. Everyone should benefit from improvements, and we should take any opportunity to cooperate with any company willing to invest time and money into helping with that.
The suggestion that we should not cooperate with Wikia in this improvement is absurd.
The whole thing is absurd.
But I never suggested that you shouldn't cooperate with Wikia. Do whatever you want. It's not my money.
