Yes, I agree; in fact, if you'd been in the #mediawiki IRC channel
within the first few days of this month, you would have noticed I
mentioned something about, "it would be great if we had regular
updates for *every* language by the end of the year."
The next thing to consider is what has priority, the
continued unabated
rush to get new functions in, or is it wise to stop including such
functionality until some of the projects that /are /prioritised by the
People work on what interests them. Would you reject new functionality
and piss off your volunteer coders, or would you rather say, "hey,
cool...now, do you reckon you could...?"
WMF become a reality. If this means that Brion does
not do anything but
SUL for a month on new functionality until SUL gets done, it would be in
your interest to help him in order to get your stuff in production.
Actually, if I'm blunt; I have little or no interest in single user
login. And it's not in my interest to do anything I don't want to do,
which is why I asked the question, "Is Wikimedia going to pay me for
it?" Unless there's a fat cheque coming my way, I'm not going to even
consider it, because if I were to put a foot out of line and make a
mistake while doing it, I'd probably be ripped to shreds.
