[Wikimedia-l] Thoughts on Admin Rights on WMF Wiki (and other things)

[Richard Symonds]

Thanks, Gayle, for sharing this. It's interesting to read how people at

heart is clearly in the right place, and I promise you that the
working relationships
do become more comfortable (and reactions more understandable) in time.
