Well, thanks to all the candidates who expressed
congratulations. As I already said yesterday, I hope
we can all work together to make the Foundation truely
real.

I have been thinking about that very carefully today,
to check if what I was thinking a little while ago was
really a good opinion or not a good opinion.

I also read one morning, the discussion which occurred
on irc on the topic. I tried to weight all arguments.

And after careful consideration, I think the results
should be released entirely (but for the smallest
wikipedias, as it would remove anonymisation of the
vote when only 1 to 5 people voted).

If only for one reason : transparency. We should not
build the Foundation upon bricks of secret.
