I think it was very good. Transition in a responsible manner takes
time.
Angela and Anthere are unbelievably good as board members, and we
have
a casual agreement between us that if the two of them ever vote in
one
direction, I will defer to them, so that it does not matter how Tim
and Michael vote. The only exception I would make to this is if
they
wanted something that I felt endangered us in some very extreme way
--
but this is basically impossible because they are so good at what
they
do.
Is the re-election campain on already? ;)
I agree as well. I think Angela and Anthere are doing an amazing job.
(See, the British and the French _can_ work with each other)
Since most people don't know how Tim and Michael think, I wouldn't be
surprised if they too would have the Wikipedia's best interest at
heart when voting. I am not worried about the Jimbo+2 bloc.
Finally, on moving slow; an old Italian proverb goes something like
this: "He who travels slowest travels safest."
