[Foundation-l] New draft of privacy policy (urgent)

Quick response, since you're in a hurry and I don't have much time right now:

1) Still too long and rambling. It's clearly written with the
intention of educating users about privacy on Wikimedia projects,
rather than primarily as a binding policy on WMF, yet no user is ever
going to read it. Users will load the page, see how long it is and
close the page again. If you want to educate users, you need another
way to do it. Make the privacy policy simply a policy, a list of
things that WMF commits to doing.

2) Why abbreviate "Wikimedia projects" to "WMProjects"? It's not a
commonly used abbreviation, isn't much shorter and just makes the text
harder to read. Either keep the full name, or abbreviate to "the
projects".

PS I'm trying to remember to sign my emails since it's been brought to
my attention that a lot of people seem to think I'm someone completely
different, which can't be a good thing (either for him or me, I
haven't decided!! ;)).
