No idea since I have no idea what most of those things are. You could try making it more
clear, for starts by using the full expressions rather than the abbreviations.
Cheers,

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Database administration support (was Re: IRC office hours:
Shared hosting)
If anyone is opposed to any of these things, please say so:
(1) adding database administration staff;
(2) not buying premium name-brand equipment or any equipment with e.g.
BIOS-to-JTAG back doors;
(3) opposing the TPP portions deleterious to movement interests;
(4) opposing the recently omnibus-enacted CISA and its Chinese counterpart;
(5) caching cited references at Foundation expense under volunteer review;
(6) re-evaluating the FTE cost of supporting the different varieties of JavaScript on the
different varieties of browsers on the different varieties of platforms including O(N^2)
structures like cross-browser copy/paste. I think Visual Editor is sucking up the oxygen
in Foundation engineering at the moment, leaving the lengthy community backlog mostly in
the lurch; and
(7) funding the Foundation Engineering Community backlog, and lengthening it from 10 items
to 20.
I am also fascinated by the discussion about whether a Florida law selection trumps an
advertised election, but more interested in why Kevin wrote that I don't understand
the Foundation mission. I proposed years ago that all Board meetings' open sessions
should be live-streamed and recorded. The Foundation does that for monthly meetings, why
not the Board too?
Regards,
Jim

If you want to get Dispenser his hard disk space,
you should take it
up with the labs people, or at the very least some thread where it
would be on-topic.
The labs people are so understaffed that two extremely important
anti-spam bots recently had to be taken offline for much longer than in recent years.
I propose Foundation management allocate the necessary resources and
recommend the hiring of sufficient personnel and purchasing of
sufficient, non NSA-compatible (i.e., discount and homebrew style)
equipment to properly support both existing infrastructural bots and
similar projects such as Dispenser's reflinks cache.
I would also like to propose that the Foundation oppose the TPP
provisions deleterious to our interests, and that this position be
endorsed on the Public Policy list.
Then by definition it wouldn't be a
third-party spam framework if WMF
was running it.
I am not proposing that the WMF take the bots over, just meet their
necessary service level requirements.
Sincerely,
Jim
