Is there any limit for a number of buddies?
Let's not overcomplicate things.
I suppose that one WMF
employee can have more than 1 non-WMF buddy, otherwise the limit of
non-WMF people at hackathon would equal number of employees :P
Revise your algorithm. :) While WMF employees must find non-WMF buddies,
non-WMF employees can buddy up with other non-WMF employees.
Pine, the initial idea of the buddies came up in an Engineering Community
team meeting around the MediaWiki Developer Summit a few weeks ago. We have
discussed it a bit in a couple of Phabricator tasks, a wiki page, and (in
the past 24 hours) in two mailing lists. I don't think the Wikimedia
Conference in Germany or any other event currently scheduled has even heard
about this concept. If you like it, please advocate for it. :)
