[Wikimedia-l] movement blog, not WMF blog, was: Go away, community (from WMF wiki at least)

[rupert THURNER]

While i fully understand that contents on a domain called
wikimediafoundation should be foundation managed (i see your point though
that a notification would have been nice), i do not appreciate that a blog
on wikimedia.org has no volunteer administrators. The project domains are
core to the wikimedia volunteer based movement.
