Hoi,
When Jimmy wants to sell his pc, he can. When he sells something intangible
like the "first edit of Wikipedia" even that has nothing to do with us.
Thanks,

I don't understand how a Wikimedia trustee using
Wikimedia websites,
Wikimedia branding, and this Wikimedia supported email list to promote a
funding event for their own commercial project, i.e. "WT:Social", fits with
the bylaws which include:
"The property of this Foundation is irrevocably dedicated to charitable
purposes and no part of the net income or assets of this Foundation shall
ever inure to the benefit of any Trustee or officer thereof or to the
benefit of any private individual other than compensation in a reasonable
amount to its officers, employees, and contractors for services rendered."

Could someone explain why the Wikimedia Foundation gave permission to one
of their trustees to do this in contravention of their own bylaws?
Hopefully asking questions does not automatically get you branded as an
"idealogue" or "attention-seeker".

I too expected a stronger reaction from the rigid
idealogues and the
attention-seekers (although I see that did indeed occur on-wiki, courtesy
of the same old grandstanding admins), and thought the minimal response was
perhaps a sign of progress!
Might just be disinterest and the ever-shrinking profile of Wikimedia-L.
