This is in the context of:

**Report<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WM_IN/WikiConference_India_2011/Report>
I appreciate his perspective very much, and I believe it's worth thinking
about seriously - Pradeep confirmed that he doesn't mind me sending the
link to this list.
More than just providing a fuller perspective on the WCI report, I am
particularly moved and distressed by the fact that his decision to retire
(I hope temporarily) is based on the harsh politics he encountered while
working in the movement; a situation that is far from ideal and surely
something that is affecting more people than just him. There's a lot to
reflect upon and learn from here.
Best,
Achal

Long time no see. I hope all is well. Almost as eloquent as before, and why
won't you be.
So, I have tried to follow what has been going on lately. Pradeep retired a
while ago from the lists, than from his WP account, I'm not sure what
changed now. As I see it the report and his comments don't conflict each
other much, he did sign off on the report as far as I know.
Anyway, I don't know what you mean by "harsh politics", perhaps you can
elaborate a little, I am vexed. How can we reflect and learn if we don't
know what the problem is. I have been insulated from the recent
developments, the last thing I commented on was Barry posturing against
Ashwin. I did hear something about Pranav recently but I'm sure you already
know. Please enlighten me.
Regards
