Ni!
Thomas, eu não acho adequado encaminhar esse link ao Dalton antes de
oferecê-lo ao comitê de capítulos, para o qual estamos esperando alguém
se voluntariar a terminar de compôr o relatório do capítulo para o
último ano.
Acho que ele poderia até ler, mas com uma colocação clara do que
significa estra mostrando isso pra ele. Se é um pedido de opinião ou
outra coisa. Eu ainda não sei se ele está tentando ajudar ou se está
tentando colocar-se no lugar do comitê.
Abraços,
ale

Thomas Dalton,
I'm not on Interal-L, nor is any other Wikimedia volunteer from
Brazil. This is why I'm making the suggestion below. Feel free to
share this message on Internal-L.
Instead of discussing on Internal-L, among only yourselves, the
arguments collaboratively created by Brazilian volunteers, I believe
we should discuss them on the wiki page where it was originally
created, right?

Could you please post your comment on the discussion page associated
with the link above? I'd love to carry on with the discussion with you
and any other interested person there.
Thanks,
Thomas de Souza Buckup

Thank you for sending us this explanation. I'm afraid a
disagree agree
with your reasons, though.
Reasons
The single most important reason is scalability in the
Brazilian context.
Brazil has almost two hundred million people
spread over a
continental area,
with strikingly unequal distribution of wealth
and
education.
Incorporating and maintaining a Non-Governmental
Organization (NGO) in
Brazil represents a significant cost, and
authority
hierarchies create
distrust and dissipate the motivation of
volunteers.
Does incorporating and maintaining an NGO in Brazil could
significantly more than in other countries? I disagree about
hierarchies creating distrust. A chapter doesn't need a strong
hierarchy, it just needs one to handle admin and money,
really. A
well-run chapter shouldn't dissipate motivation.
Thus, a single Wikimedia chapter would not be
able to handle
the diversity
of challenges and the organizational overhead.
I don't see how that follows.
