So it sounds
like
respect is also centralized in the wikimedia foundation, please
include
me in your email to your underlings Tim, as I would also like to
have
respect, maybe it will mean my request for image dumps is taken
seriously!? It would be nice if respect was earned, but it
sounds like
Tim can create/enforce respect in a more simple way, sounds like
a good
leadership path to me.. NOT! :)
Has it occurred to you that maybe the one
person in charge of both
dumps and media storage is a busy person who also happens to be on
vacation right now?
Hi,
No, but you bring up a good point, having a single person in charge of both of these
departments is not working very well, since the "department of image dumps"
hasn't actually released any publicly available image dumps in 4+ years, and the
"department of xml dumps" has only released a single successful* full history
dump of enwiki in 3+ years.
*only partially successful as some of the revision history is missing from the dump
cheers,
Jamie
