[Foundation-l] #wikipedia changes

[Sean Whitton]

Definately. That's why we have setup #wikipedia-social (and there is
also #wikimedia-social, which is run by some other Wikimedians and
they said they didn't want us pointing people there, so we setup
#wikipedia-social).

I totally agree that it's very important. My point is that the
majority of talk in #wikipedia should be on Wikipedia, not the other
way round. Otherwise, why call it #wikipedia? :-)
