[Foundation-l] Board Resolution: Openness

[Dror Kamir]

Thanks for this input, it seems like the right direction, but it is not 
enough. Administrators' decisions should be followed much more closely 
in order to prevent misuse of administrative power. It is crucial that 
people who are not too involved themselves in the projects would do it. 
Collecting information from open pages and summarizing it in a way that 
would make it accessible to the general public is very much in line with 
the "non-intervention" policy taken vis-à-vis the projects. That's my 
idea for the Foundation or anyone else in the Wikimedia movement who is 
looking for ways to make the projects more welcoming.
