I spent Sunday through this morning doing Wikimedia stuff. (I have flu, but you know this doesn’t require coherent thought.) Mostly relating to flagged revisions on en:wp (status: awaiting a more robust and supported proposal — 59:41 is an insufficiently convincing majority) and biographies of living people. I suggest reading that last link and joining the discussion on foundation-l.

It’s amazing how much time it uses and how little sense one can have of things actually pushing forward. Wikipedia is the size of a small city. You know how hard it is herding five volunteers? Try getting ten thousand to do any particular thing.
