I had previously wrote an email suggesting we

six months of reading Wikisource The free

redesign.
At the time I wrote I had thought the situation
was
cooled off. It seems that was premature. Things
have
flared up now at Template talk:WikipediaSister.
Neither side is going to convince the other at
this
point. Truly how the projects are represented is
a
Foundation decision. This situation will not be
resolved until the Foundation makes that decision,
or
declares who the decision should be delegated
to.

Hi Birgitte,
I don't see how the decision can be meaninfully made
by anyone *but*
the community themselves, ie in this case,
Wikisource. But I don't
know who would make this decision at the Foundation
level, maybe the
board, maybe Jimbo himself.
I don't want to re-ignite the debate, but I'll make
my own comment. I
followed the discussion more or less before and I've
read the page you
linked to. I liked the 'compromise' of "free-content
library", but
then I realised that all Wikimedia projects are free
content. "The
free library" is fine, and, bottom line, it's what
Wikisource have
already agreed on. If/when they agree on another,
it'll be changed, as
has already been said.

I am not sure how it the decision would come about
either. Of course I agree with your assement of the
situation, but others don't. Until one side or the
other hears something authoritative I am afraid this
will be unsettled.
