Point taken, and that is primarily I'd like to get you involved. All of us would like to make a balance I suppose. One thing I haven't mentioned on the list is ... a concern if advertising WP focusing events on other projects. There would be various opinions, but giving a thought on this issue for hours, I reached a conclusion it would be much better than holding such events without inviting other project participants (like me). The latter could be more insulting. > > Once we've figured out the best way to go about doing that (and we'd > appreciate any suggestions), we'll start putting a process into place. Do you have any timeline? The earliest events (not of ours) will be held in less than a month and everyone is rushing into holidays ... > > Centralnotice is like a cannon... we don't want to direct a notice at > millions of people, if the party isn't ready for the potential end result. Sure, but if I didn't mentioned (uh-oh and it was very likely .... then sorry), we at WiKansai are mainly interested in making a limit using CN thanks to geotarget: jawiki users are not only living in Japan. I suppose it might be much more concerns in language projects whose languages are more widely spoken beyond border of one country.
