Asaf, I covered everything in my previous email.
And yes it has been bitter, the whole process..there is no transparency.
And it's not my mistake. Nothing personal in there! Please don't change the
topic now.
I apologized to CISA2K, because i was blaming the team entirely. I realized
the issue is bigger and beyond their control. It's either at CIS or WMF or
somewhere in between. You don't disclose! You kept the whole community in
dark!!
Other members are free to take my comments as they like, i don't understand
why you're worried.

I will be responding to Ravi's further questions
as time permits, probably
only tomorrow.
In the meantime, I protest against your behavior, Ansuman. It is
unacceptable. Despite multiple past recurrences of this pattern as well as
past apologies, here we are again -- you lash out with wild and inflated
accusations, generalizations, and hearsay; when challenged to provide
details and references, you gradually back down and often admit your
original allegations were entirely unfounded; nevertheless, you do not
apologize or retract your original statements (alternatively, you somehow
manage to apologize (as you do below) even as you attack indisciminately).
This is precisely the behavior that had cost you my respect before, as you
mentioned.
I am interested in having good faith conversations with any community
member about our India strategy. As you have seen, I have responded openly
and honestly to Ravi's questions about our strategy, and those of you who
have had some conversations with me before can attest I speak my mind and
do not keep you guessing.
I had done the same in response to your own questions previously (contrary
to your assertion that I did not), but it quickly became clear you were far
too bitter to be interested in actually discussing constructive ways
forward. For whatever reason (perhaps a personal stake? is there some
personal background you'd like to share with the community? I think so.),
you are far more interested in attacking CIS and/or WMF than you are in
promoting the Wikimedia mission in India and in your region and community.
I will continue to engage with those members of the community interested
in having a civil and fact-based conversation. (I thank Pradeep, for
example, for his calm contribution to the discussion (on-wiki, where I
shall respond), even as he expresses strong crticism and skepticism of the
entire engagement model.)
I encourage the rest of you reading this to take Ansuman's ranting with a
large grain of salt. Get the facts (as distinct from empty assertions) and
judge for yourselves, by all means, or reserve judgment until you do.
Again, I will engage further on-wiki as soon as I'm able, but probably
only tomorrow.

Thanks Asaf. There are some more
questions<http://bl-1.com/click/load/BzMJPwdmWmdWMQNnCTg-b0231>by Ravi, I'd like
to see them answered.
Thanks Ravi for the detail analysis and questions. Few questions I've
asked before but nobody cared to answer till now, now being answered.
:-) Which these paid employess didn't care to put up in two years is now
being out!
I'm extremely dissppointed, nobody (not even WMF staffs) cared to tell
the community these important things, which should have been disclosed much
earlier in 2012.
I've asked, raised my concerns several times at meta; cisa2k talk pages,
vishnu's talk page, on this mailing list. But these paid employees didn't
feel the necessity to answer them!! One time someone even gone out of
context and talked about costing his respect but didn't feel the necessity
to respond further and tell these things..
If only WMF's intent has been clear to us and there has been transparency
in this project, I wouldn't have felt the necessity to blame cisa2k for
their terrible mistakes and incometencies.
If only i had known that WMF doesn't expect any real outcome but just
want to see how it goes, then i would not have asked those questions being
rude. You have wasted so much of my time!!
Even now I see no attempts to bring transparency. Clearly nobody cares!!
WMF is also responsible for this lack of transparecy but they don't seem
to care much.
So far as per the ongoing discussion at proposal talk page, *there is no
transparency, it's not been disclosed yet who was involved when this
project was approved!* Few facts yet to be confirmed and questions to be
answered.
Having said all these, let me tell you that my intention was clear, i
didn't want to hurt anybody. I'm extremely sorry for the harsh tone. My
apologies to all the CISA2K employees and especially to Vishnu.
You guys don't listen to me still let me say:
The plans of CISA2K is getting broader, please focus on specific areas
where you guys are capable.
And about "No Outcome"; I mop at Odia Wikipedia and I regularly visit and
keep track of edits there. CISA2K has created a lot of mess which need to
be cleaned up.
And those fluctuation; ups and downs in graphs, *we see them all the
times, so please don't claim those are because of you and don't put up
those stats in your reports and everywhere*. Please make these plans and
reports short and precise, so more users can read them and participate.
Jayanta also asked similar questions about stats there at proposal talk
page. And i'm aware of that disclaimer, still it's wrong to claim like
this. Please remove them. At least have some respect for the community and
volunteers. Thanks.
