people are not able to get together and think about general solutions together. The only channel being used for that kind of stuff is #wikimedia , but to be honest, that is more foundation/organization-related, not project-based.
Precisely. If we could raise issues in the channel that really are affecting multiple places, it's great. As you say, #wikimedia is definately more geared towards WMF, and #wikipedia is appropriate for project-related matters.
Which is, when you think about it, the reason why this discussion should have taken place on wikipedia-l rather than foundation-l. I forgive the error, but #wikipedia is not a Foundation discussion really, it is a Wikipedia discussion.
Agreed. Could you maybe move this discussion to the appropriate list (which is #wikipedia)? BTW: Remember, the IRC channels are not official Wikimedia Foundation channels, so they shouldn't really be discussed on the foundation list. On the other hand, some IRC users complained that they couldn't make input because it is discussed on foundation-l, "a list that no normal wikipedian reads" (quote). So, maybe, it's really not the best list for this discussion!? Michael
Hmm, I guess I, and all the other enwikipedians on this list aren't normal, then. It's a bit late to move to wikipedia-l (and less Wikipedians read that than foundation-l, to be honest), though, so I think we should stay here for the remainder of this discussion and move there for future discussions.
