Just so you guys have a bit more background.

If you're interested in further reading, the Harris Report [1],
commissioned by WMF gives a really good overview of how this new
feature came to be.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Moka

Hi, all.

Head's up: the Image Referendum that Philippe announced at the end of
June is now live for all users on all Wikipedias. The original
announcement, sent to Foundation-l and posted on meta, is below.
There's an FAQ that Philippe created for people to use to field
questions as well [1].

If anyone receives any press inquiries, can you please share them with
the group?

Philippe is the project lead and should be able to help with any
additional questions you may have.

Thanks!

Moka

To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org>


Please distribute widely


Call for referendum:  The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of
the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether
members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in
personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen
particular types of images strictly for their own account.

Further details and educational materials will be available shortly.
The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be
conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party.  Referendum
details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will
be posted at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image_filter_referendum
shortly.

For the coordinating committee,
Philippe (WMF)
