It sounds like a good idea, but you're going to have to familiarize me with
policy on the English Wikipedia about bots since I haven't really had too
much experience in that area.

For some time, there have been discussions of

understanding that the
proposal
was waiting "for the code, not
approval." Subsequently, I spoke with
brion,
who said that the code was there, it was simply a
matter of the devs
being
told to implement it.
It seems to me that (for once?) we have a proposal that just about
everybody
likes: Local communities get to make thier own
decisions about bot
flagging,
and have them enacted locally, by someone who is
familiar with the local
rules and the given debate, and the stewards are relieved from what has
become an unpleasant task. It also seems that both sides are waiting for
each other, not realizing the other side is waiting for them!
I'd love to see this proposal enacted sooner rather than later, so I'm
asking: What do we need to do to get this done? Do the devs need an
order
from the Board? *pokes the Board* "The Devs
need an order." Do the Board
need to be made aware that the switch is ready to flip on thier word?
*pokes
the Devs* "The Board doesn't know
it's ready to go."
What next?

I think I have given subliminal messsages on this list, on the
foundation list and even on wikitech list, so that at least *my* opinion
is known on the matter. No need to poke me :-)
