[Foundation-l] [EWW] Edit Wikipedia Week

[Waerth]

Because we vannot do it all! Sometimes you need to branch off 
specialistic projects to small groups of people. The Wikimedia projects 
have grown so big that the head and the body usually walk in different 
directions and do different things. It is very difficult to steer so 
many people. Like an earlier poster mentioned .... consensus amongst 
such a huge body is impossible. That is easier reached amongst a smaller 
group of people. I hope more initiatives like veropedia will arise!
