Sue, I sent the below included inquiry to wikitech-l regarding http://flaggedrevs.labs.wikimedia.org/.
Now almost a month later I still have received no response regarding the status of this test deployment. It is is still not active on the test site, — although this has literally gone on for months. As far as I can tell this is one of the most significant initiatives on English Wikipedia as of lately— in that it has site wide impact and the design and decision of the configuration was the work of hundreds of people, including a reworking after the WMF staff refused to implement the initial decision which only achieved almost a decent majority support, for lack of sufficient community support. Now that the plan has been improved and the support is overwhelming a commitment to roll with this plan was made but no progress appears to be being made. Inquiries have been met with silence. I believe the community expects and deserves a greater level of responsiveness from the staff of Wikimedia. What I'd like to know— What is delaying this deployment? What is a reasonable expectation for the timeline in implement community chosen decisions? How can communication be improved so that the communities high priority implementations aren't ignored for weeks and even months by wikimedia staff? How can the people who care about this help see it through to completion? What does this say about the enormous strategic projects initiate when Wikimedia is already failing to meet its commitments on high impact community initiatives? Thank you for your time and consideration. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gregory Maxwell <gmaxw...@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 7:21 PM Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] flaggedrevs.labs.wikimedia.org Status?

Ehhh. It don't know that it makes sense to spend effort manually fixing pages on a test project. If the import procedure is not working right it should be improved... In any case, I'm sorry for the tangent. The main intent of my post was to determine the current status: Is the import finished? When will the configuration changes for flagged protection be turned on? _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
