Hoi, "We" includes anyone who wants to be involved and does not exclude him or herself by his or her own actions or choices. Thanks, GerardM
Incorrect.
Erik's email includes phrases like "We're not pushing an aggressive schedule on Flow". This clearly means that "we" refers to the Wikimedia Foundation and excludes unpaid volunteers who hold no responsibility or authority for the deployment schedule.
Incorrect.
In such a long text, "we" can obviously refer to both "the Foundation" and "the community" (both of which Erik is a member of), depending on context. There would be little point in Erik asking "Do we want discussions to occur in document mode, or in a structured comment mode?" on a public mailing list, when he just wants to ask a Foundation-internal question, right? Pretty obvious, really, unless your goal is to distract from the actual topic.
