Hi Andre, I think that whether these threads are welcome by Wikitech-l subscribers in general is a reasonable question, although I disagree with a number of elements of your description of these threads. I took a somewhat bold step in February 2018 of expanding the posting of these threads from Wikimedia-l to both Wikimedia-l and Wikitech-l, and I expressed a willingness to listen to objections; see https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2018-February/089495.html . At that time, no one objected. Of the occasional feedback that I have received in public (more on Wikimedia-l than Wikitech-l) and private, 100% has been positive until now. However, I recognize that people's opinions may change over time. If a consensus emerges from Wikitech-l subscribers that these threads are not currently welcome on Wikitech-l then I will respect that and I will stop cross-posting the threads to Wikitech-l. However, if no such consensus emerges, then I suggest that you ignore these threads in the future. The purpose of these emails is certainly not to annoy people, and I regret if people find them to be more annoying than interesting, useful, or encouraging. I hope that people will contribute their own posts to these threads in response to the prompt, "What’s making you happy this week? You are welcome to comment in any language." Also, I would be happy to see a new person start these threads each week, and to see multiple people contribute their thoughts each week. However, if a new consensus emerges in against having these threads on Wikitech-l, then I will abide by that consensus.

Brian, Thanks for the civil comments. I think that language diversity valuable, and there is no requirement to post in English to this list. Although I appreciate the idea, I am unwilling to create a more narrowly focused version of these threads for Wikitech-l. Someone else might be willing to do that. The 2 !votes against and 0 !votes in favor of continuing to cross post these threads to Wikitech-l in their current form likely mean that I will post these threads only to Wikimedia-l in the future. Although I am mildly disappointed, I am OK with that.

Mailing lists aren't really a good place to establish consensus, as every time someone weighs in, everyone is notified, so 'me too's are frowned upon in principle. Perhaps you might want to create an actual poll about preferred venues etc onwiki and then send out a message to wikimedia-l linking to that if you want a more meaningful assessment. -I On 24/06/2019 01:42, Pine W wrote: content with _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
