[Foundation-l] [Announcement] Welcome to the advisory group

Mon Jan 29 12:11:06 UTC 2007

maybe it would be more constructive if we wouldnt stuck to this very person,
and the discussion whether he is notable or not have private? Then we could
maybe focus more on the issue that is imho more important, the *type* of
person that is missing. So not really names, but more the qualities that
lack this advisory group. Actually I am somehow missing a bit more input
from the communities. Most of the users seem to me (except angela) relative
outsiders, please correct me if i'm wrong. Might it be worth evaluating the
idea that in some way we should have a user of several parts of the
wikimedia communities? And then especially users who are more then just
users. So they should be active users, but also bring "a little extra", for
example, they combine that with skills on social, legal, economical or
ideological area.
