I will ask the Foundation to make an official excuse to the community about forcing these site notices and about not directly informing the communities. I will also ask to stop any other actions like these in the future, until the community at least can have a vote in this matter.
Maybe you want to start with defining the term "community". It proved to be not so easy... (And no, the community is not just the subscribers to foundation-l)
That is very easy. The "community" are the users who contribute on all Wikimedia projects.
Okay. And sure you know how to get in contact with the whole community? Because people tend to complain about not being informed, although they just didn't read the relevant threads on foundation-l. Should we make a notice on every little village pump (it will be really cheap and easy to translate such a thing in every possible language to allow non-english-speakers to participate)? Or shall we send an email to every registered Wikimedia user (see translation issue above)? Or do you know another way how *everybody* feels included, asked and considered? Michael
