The sentiment is dittoed here. I don't have a clue
what all this
hoo-ha is about, but that fact alone seems to suggest that something
clandestine occurred. From what I understand, this is something that,
if worked out correctly, *could* be beneficial to all the Wikipedias.
So why haven't I heard anything about this on en.wikipedia.org? It's
not even on the Community Portal. And the fact that someone as
even-headed as mav is even thinking about quitting makes me wonder
just what's going on.

When mav says things like this, I don't have to go read 25+ posts to
know that something has gone horribly wrong.
I suggest that we:
--Just build a free encyclopedia
--Work with each other respectfully
--Leave the rest of the ideas for another project, another year.
PS: If we all even get close to becoming another ICANN, I'll be out
the door with mav.

Not hearing things on en:wikipedia is akin to not hearing it on
nl:wikipedia. En:wikipedia may be the biggest wikipedia, it is not the
platform for discussions regarding Mediawiki. It is Meta's purpose to
discuss these things. The suggestion that something "clandestine"
occured does speak of little respect for the integrity of people like
Jimbo, Angela, Anthere ..
