When I look at the people who manage to stay around for a long time,
they're the ones who are capable of assuming good faith and occasionally
walking away when things get heated. Wiki diplomacy happens at about the
same rate as non-wiki diplomacy, I've found. Sometimes you have to be a
little bit more non-profit and a little bit less tech. ;-)
Congrats on your first MediaWiki developer birthday! To many more
birthdays in the years to come.
