[Foundation-l] Wikimania and the Muhammad pix

[Dan Rosenthal]

Shutting down criticism of Wikimania Egypt is certainly the right  
solution. A practical suggestion would be to have the foundation pull  
out of Wikimania Egypt and conduct it in a more appropriate venue,  
even if it means delaying the conference date.
