I don't think that "any random admin on one of the projects should be able to insert a web bug into Common.js" is what he suggests. The Hungarian situation seems to have been in place with support of the hungarian community, at least at start.
Frankly, I'd rather see private sensitive data on an external server ran by a couple of wiki volunteers, than on an external server ran by a contracted 3rd party supplier.
i wish you well, teun

Peter said that he could run whatever was being done on an external server on a WMF machine that [core] developers have access to. What does this have to do with being Foundation staff?
He is trying rationalize his previous behavior by stating that he thinks any random admin on one of the projects should be able to insert a web bug into Common.js that logs user data to a non foundation server.
I'm not sure what keywords to use but I seem to recall this issue coming up a couple of years ago (this exact case). At any rate it seems that he was aware of the controversy from the beginning. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
