Hi Nathan,
Differing views about good uses of this list are fine. However, I have an
optimistic view of the ideal uses and benefits of this list, which may
include civil debates and a wide range of meta discussions. Having stated
my views, and wishing to maintain a respectful tone, this is the last email
that I intend to read or send on this thread.
Have a good evening,
Pine

Paid editing is addressed in the WMF terms of service
and is a problem that
has confronted or will confront most of the prominent projects in the
movement. An alert to an RfC regarding principles of broader import, and a
small amount of linked discussion, seems to be a perfectly reasonable use
of the list. Wikimedia-L need not be only announcements, messages of thanks
and congratulations, and grousing about etiquette or WMF internal politics.

Yes, it's a very quiet list. However, I'm
an advocate of being mindful of
scope. I've long advocated for wiki-specific discussions to happen on the
wiki and/or mailing lists which are best suited to them rather than
Wikimedia-l unless an issue is escalating to a meta-type discussion. This
is one of those discussions that, from my perspective, is best suited
for a
different venue. I'm not a list moderator
though, so this is just a
request/suggestion.
