Considering that I've made numerous announcements about my work to this very list (IRC office hours, 10th anniversary organizing etc.) I think that's clear. What I meant is that there is no way to prevent informal discussion about something that has yet to be announced, so there's no reason to fret over it. What I *do *find unhelpful is publicly posting about sensitive topic when you know in advance that people aren't prepared to answer questions about it yet. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
