You don't seem to understand how the feature works, despite repeated explanations. > Non-admins, especially > newly-registered ones might be too shy or not aware that they are > allowed to have an opinion on such issues, and feel that when > developpers install a new software on your wiki, (if they only find > out that the software has changed: many changes are quite invisible) > you just have to shut up and smile. > I agree that the learning curve for contribution into the development process is probably unnecessarily high for a newcomer. That being said, this feature (along with almost all others) are developed using a public bug tracker, a public code repository, and public code review. Both Bugzilla and Code Review are open for anyone to comment on. If you *want* to become involved in the development of MediaWiki and take interest in what's in store for the software then by all means do so. But don't sit here and make accusations that none of this was ever announced. That is simply not true. As Tim said, this feature was in development for years, and was no secret. The time for commenting has since passed, and I think this thread is going nowhere real quick. -Chad _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
