I think we could use more active administrators, who actively participate in the discussions to helps form them into more useful ones. The part that I'm saying is fine is the lack of formal structured posting rules. It'd be nice if an admin would step into this thread and clarify how much discussion s/he'd like on the topic, what the goals are that we're trying to reach with this thread, etc, rather than come in 5 days later and lock the thread or throw down the ban hammer. Ideally we need people people actively facilitating discussion, and these people need to have the power to enforce things in the rare case that need be (mainly because otherwise we get discussions like this one where some people say one thing and some people say the opposite, and it's impossible to please everyone). Setting rules on how many words/times/whatever you can post isn't going to take the place of an active facilitator. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
