There may be someone else who's better qualified, but I am local and this sounds interesting to me. I've been with the Wikipedia project for about four years and am one of the thousand-ish volunteer administrators. I've worked on our policy enforcement, policy development and conflict resolution issues fairly actively, and have a long experience with other online communities, dating back into the 1980s. -- -george william herbert [email protected] _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-SF mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf
