Re: [WikiEN-l] Former Wikimedia employee was a felon.

Dalton, perhaps you could consider leaving off the direct bickering with the general counsel about legal issues (or present your credentials and... a cogent argument)? My experience has been that confidentiality agreements are not unusual for senior officers resigning under a cloud but not one that forces legal disclosure. Additionally, even in the absence of a confidentiality agreement there are limits to what employers can disclosure about former employees and the circumstances of termination. (IANAL, however). I think the WMF folks have been very forthcoming, within limits outside of their control at the moment, and there is no purpose to badgering them for further information (or implying elements of a conspiracy to keep information from you). It is more productive to suggest what tools and structures ought to be in place going forward, perhaps you can focus your intellect on that.
