[Foundation-l] News from Germany: White Bags and thinking about a fork

[Tobias Oelgarte]

If something is useful or not, shouldn't be the question. Alt least the 
WMF seams to see it that way, because it is very doubtful that the image 
filter is useful for the project, for its goals, growth and development.

I would invite the Board to view the movie "Schoolbreak Special: The Day 
They Came To Arrest The Book". Well - I know it is old and i know that 
isn't such deep. But in some way it wraps up all the ill logic behind 
the current discussions. If you have a copy, maybe at your local 
library, then you should watch it. For everyone else is still Youtube:
