In stark contrast to the other thread, this email was disappointing for the wrong reasons, maybe it's for me alone. It took about 70 emails and 3 threads, and 2 days of waiting to get a reply from the concerned staff members, but I believe Achal forwarded this to Wikimedia-l less than 12 hours before you responded on a Sunday and agreed to devote a month's resources to it. I don't think more than 2-3 people responded to the issue either on this list or the Indian one. I guess that's the sole difference of the position he occupies, speaking of which, the advisory board appointments seem indefinite, and the list doesn't seem to have been updated - for the past 2 years I have only seen Achal identify himself as that. As far as I know Mr. Prabhala has not even logged in to an existing wikisource project, or uploaded anything on commons beyond anything relevant to the last grant. I ask because this issue was brought up a couple of years ago on the same list[1] and received a lot more attention locally than this time. Completely regardless of the issue itself, I know of several individuals, and committees waiting for answers from the legal department, and actually expect to wait weeks. I barely see you respond directly on a list these days, and you are agreeing to devote a month's resources at his behest alone so quickly. Glad to be reminded how somethings change and somethings stay the same. And speaking for me alone, it's disappointing to note the difference in tone above vs. the one being employed on the other thread. -Theo [1] http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-August/004080.ht…
