So where do things stand?
By my rough count, the relicensing discussion has generated over 300 emails in the last month alone. At least within the limited confines of people who read this list, I suspect that everyone who has wanted to offer an opinion has done so. While, I mean no disrespect, much of what continues to be said strikes me as either repetitious of prior comments or simply off-topic.
Given that, I would like to ask Erik, Mike, or someone else with the WMF to comment on what the timetable and process for the next step will be? At the start of January, the BIG VOTE was tentatively scheduled to start February 9th. Is that still accurate, or have we talked ourselves into a delay? Will there be any more expansive effort to communicate with the various communities before the vote starts?
Thanks.
