Hi,
I can say that despite being a nobody at Mozilla
and having gotten
only one (rather trivial) patch accepted, I feel like I'm
taken more
seriously by most of their paid developers than
by most of
ours.
I'm sorry to hear that, and I'd like to know (off list) which paid
developers are making you feel that way. I've made it pretty
clear to
Danese that I think you're one of our best volunteer developers, and
that you should be given whatever you ask for, which, I think it's
understood, includes respect. Maybe I can help to get that
message to
filter down to the rest of the organisation.
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! :)
cheers,
Jamie
