[Foundation-l] Letter to the community on Controversial Content

[Andreas Kolbe]

For reference, the resolution said: 

	* We ask the Executive Director, in consultation with the community, to develop and implement a personal image hiding feature that will enable readers to easily hide images hosted ***on the projects*** that they do not wish to view, either when first viewing the image or ahead of time through preference settings. We affirm that no image should be permanently removed because of this feature, only hidden; that the language used in the interface and development of this feature be as neutral and inclusive as possible; that the principle of least astonishment for the reader is applied; and that the feature be visible, clear and usable on ***all Wikimedia projects*** for both logged-in and logged-out readers.

This doesn't look like Commons is exempt from that, but perhaps the Board might like to clarify that point.

Andreas
