Hello all,
The Wikimedia Foundation is looking for volunteers who would like to
support the management of relationships between Wikimedia communities
and the broader communities of researchers who study Wikimedia
projects. We hope to create a committee with volunteers from both
groups with a rich
" in an attempt to impose purely aesthetic choices on the
broader community."
Impose? You know it can be turned off, right?

Cary, you'll be missed. The WMF absolutely should try to replace you,
although I doubt they'll find someone who can do the job as well as
you have done. Good luck going back to school, and maybe you can get
into editing some of the articles about Levant religions on the
English Wikipedia... I hear
Cary,
Hopefully, your successor will be even a fraction of you, in every way.

Cary,
You just managed to write the first mailing list post that ever managed
to shock me deeply. I do not think I'm able to express
I've enjoyed working with you on a few projects and learning about the
Foundation from you, and the couple chances I've had to see you in person
have always been fun.
Thanks, Cary.

I'm very sorry to hear this! I'm not sure how the Foundation is going
to survive without you... thank you enormously for everything y
Hi Cary,
Thank you for everything you've done for the Foundation, the projects, but
also the chapters. I will definitely miss you. Best wishes for your new

I'm leaving the staff, but I will continue to be involved with the

Hi all,
Just wanted to report back on the "Work at Wikimedia" banners that ran
on the site the last few days.
The idea behind them was to uncover talent for the community
department that doesn't necessarily haunt the "usual" places. We
specifically wanted to reach out to people who used th
Er, I mean: "I think it would feel less imposing and more friendly to
have a smaller banner THAT ran longer."
Silly typo.

While I appreciate the comments about people being overly sensitive, I
do think it is still true that we should avoid unnecessary clutter.
With that in mind, I would like to mention that I don't really like
the big empty box approach. On my screen it looks like the banner is
about 3.5 times the h
Apparently long-time Wikimedia contributors are also far more sensitive
to Foundation imposition of /less/ visual clutter as well, judging by
the reaction to the Vector rollout. Perhaps we could just say that
long-term Wikimedia contributors are just more sensitive ;)
