On the rest: being defensive is not useful; being constructive is.
I don't see anything in this thread that looks defensive; what I see (and thoroughly agree with) is a request to more clearly define the problem.
I'd
add that some clarity around who "we" are who should do something --
which
might be several categories of "we" for different kinds of actions --
would
help, as well.
I didn't say Risker is, for example, defensive; I said Asaf is defensive.
If you have enough information on the issue, constructive approach is not to pretend to ask for more information, but to talk about what you know.
I'll leave the "defensive" bit aside, and just reiterate that I *still* do not understand exactly what problem you're trying to focus discussion on. In the piece of text Asaf quoted, you used the words "it" and "reports." I don't know what you intend by those words. Maybe for some reason you feel it's Asaf's job to clarify that for the rest of the list's readers; maybe so. I don't have more to contribute on this point.
I do strongly agree with Gerard that a better interface for presenting the excellent work of Wikisource communities to readers should be a high priority.
