What WMF server resources were used? I imagine there was a link put on
meta somewhere, but that's about it. The Q&A happened using Skype's
servers. I think it is extremely disappointing that Wikivoices did
this and didn't publish it and I think the candidates that turned up
deserve an explanation, but it really has nothing to do with the WMF.
Perhaps in future the WMF should run a Q&A session like this and make
sure it is done properly, but I don't remember it being suggested
before, certainly not very prominently, so we can't really complain
that they didn't do it this time round.
