Right now I am working on synthesizing and reviewing our comments to post to Meta tomorrow. If you have some time, and especially if you were at any or all of the meetings, could you take a few minutes to review/copy-edit parts of the draft document, found here? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rC-kpnex_SB6tbxm4RQz0tkeTP7OJer6t651DXF… John Cummings has already started work on this (thanks, John!), and has introduced a helpful color-coding system that you can use to indicate if you have reviewed a section or passage. Once again, thanks very much for your participation. I hope that our recommendations are useful to the Foundation and used by the Foundation. You’ll likely see one or two other messages from me today or tomorrow on this topic. Have a nice afternoon! Best, Esther Wikimedian in Residence The New York Botanical Garden
