Re: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Community Consultation for Media Viewer now live

Hmm... This consultation presents Media Viewer as a Fait Accompli. when this is addressed on talk, there's an answer like: "Hi Daniele, please notice this is not intended as a forum to discuss WMF's general behaviour". Might be wise to back off or modify the wmf's stated position a bit. Politically speaking: it is wise to take pains not to treat something as a fait accompli, even or especially when you would like for it to be so. ;-) Otherwise, some people may feel like they are cornered, and that they *have* to fight [*]. Always leave an "out" so they can feel safe and thus stay reasonable. sincerely, Kim Bruning [*] For folks who get the heebie jeebies talking about feelings, pretend that by "some people" I may actually mean utility-optimizing (bounded) rational agents. Obv, don't make the only optimal reply be "Have at ye!" ( ps In general I think it would be rather wise if projects were actually co-initiated by WMF&Community, in that case you don't get situations like this. As of 2014 afaik there's still no clear on-wiki pathway to rq features/changes? If I missed it, I'd promote that to pieces!)
