Agreed as well. Anders, that is one of the most sensible posts I've seen on
this list in a long time.

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Is the Code of Conduct in force?
We have 61000 editors that made more the 5 edits last month and 8800
making more then 100 edits. Last election to the Board attracted 5500
voters. These figures gives a magnitude of the numbers in the community.
The number of active on this list are around 50-100, and normal
participations in meta discussion (except when it was for Visual editor)
are at best 100-200.
I truly believe we should not be content to say these 100-200 are the
community or spokespersons for the community. And I admire the approach
being made by WMF in the strategy project, to actively try to reach out to
a broader audience then these 100-200
So I believe her has always been an issue of the dialogue between the
community and WMF, both referring to who is the community and the dialogue
in itself. But I do see that the approach being taken by WMF now and lately
does a lot to resolve this issue and and is worth both praise and support
And I do would like to see less of "We the community" by people on this
list

For Rogol and Pine I have an additional
challenge; when the WMF is to
support the community, is their time better spend serving quality or
is their time better spend discussing endless procedures that make us
stick in the mud as it stifles initiative?
A fallacious dichotomy, as no doubt you were well aware. We need to
establish working and workable procedures that allow Community and
Foundation to engage together in planning at the level of long-term
strategy and medium-term technical roadmap so that the WMF are able to
deliver quality products that support the mission effectively. Do you
think we have those already? Or do you think we can do without them?
