Sorry for that! Is our start-up going as it should? Or should we be more to the point? I mentioned some other task forces make weekly reports, is that also expected of us? Regards, Woudloper 07:27, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi philippe, I would like to Volunteer for the Task force on financial Sustainability. I have posted 3 proposal directly or indirectly related to the foundation's long term financial sustainability. The task force is listed as in the beginning stage on its page, if there is any need of volunteers or further support I would like to offer myself for further consideration. Thank you for your time and keep up the good work.

Phillipe.
I give up, this hierarchical system is not working, I've talked to Cbrown not changed at all. Not just me who I am saying, and you can see here another manifestation. I will not translate to not seem biased, try using a language translator, if you can not understand I translate. Who speaks Portuguese complains about the division, only people who do not speak Portuguese defend the division, I think there's something wrong. Think about it. I regret supporting this project by giving my opinion. Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton 02:06, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Nice and bold! I like it! Sometimes less is more! ;) The Social template is the best at all!

Template:Recommendations template is good but is it for new recomondations or for rephrase discussion which are completed ?210.211.241.140 09:26, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I guess the weekly report from "ESP4 task force:Enhance Community health and culture" is due in the next couple of days. Is there a day of the week we should submit them? The only reports I can see so far are the China reports, like Task_force/China_Task_Force/Weekly_Report_01. I don't know whether those headings (which look good) are a template set down by you or whether they are what that particular task force has decided on, please advise: if they are a cross project template I'll populate our first report page with them.

Absent from that template is an area for the individual members in the task force to write their own piece on their individual activity. I personally would quite like to do that so when the report is submitted you can see whether we're going off on tangents; I have personal concerns that I'm not entirely spending my time the best way. I feel if all the task force members summarised their activity you could step in and guide anyone that's getting a bit lost.

I originally said I wasn't keen on being on a taskforce, but I'm now happy to lend support ion the areas of technology, infrastructure, innovation and mobile technology. Is there an easy way of updating my prefs?

Thanks for concidering my sanity. Earlier today indeed I thought something like it, until I saw Background which is a big part of the previous new mainpage. I am not sure though how long I wil continue in this pace. We all just keep on doing what is best for the overall process.

Hi Philippe, I assure you it's no problem. I remain a big fan of yours. I just felt I was annoying you due to the sigh, but it's no big deal, honestly :o)

Could you maybe help out here? The Usability wiki goes pretty wrong way altogether I think. Would like to help there out too, but am unable curently. Thanks in advance for your efforts!

Dear Philippe, well, I am beginning to understand a little bit of all this confusion. There is a team preparing the strategy talks of which you a are member, and there is a developing team, of which Fasten is a member. I put my comments here, on a developer thread, when they were meant for both the LiquidThread development team and the strategy talks team. I couldn't know where to put my comments because I was confused all the way round. The Strategy Talks pages were changed quite profoundly at the same time that the Village Pump pages were changed quite profoundly as well.

Let me try.

1. You can't find the red links that I was hinting at. See Talk:Emerging_strategic_priorities/ESP_4_key_questions. I'm mainly involved in this section. The questions have all been split and on the Talk Page, all of those questions are assigned their own separate talk pages, since last week. However, none of them have been started yet, so they are all red links. That was one part of my comment: a week ago I tried to react to the the item "ESP-4 key questions" (you can still see it under Talk:Emerging_strategic_priorities/ESP_4_key_questions#Editor-to-reader_ratio. Now it seems I have to open 32 talk pages to start discussions there.
2. Fasten doesn't understand what that comment is doing at this place. Well, I tried to put a question about the former in the Village Pump and found it completely reformed in a week, so much so that I couldn't find any place to put my question. The entrance was replaced to the backside, the bar was in the cellar and the toilet was somewhere outside. All of this was done in a couple of days time, so I didn't know better than to ask my questions in one batch. Now Fasten doesn't understand what I'm asking of him and you don't know what's the problem anyway.
3. Please. You're mobilizing the worldwide community to help Wikipedia out on a 5-year project. This is a very complex problem. Is it too much to ask, not to complicate it any further by
   • changing the subject every three days and creating non-existing talk pages every week;
   • launching a brand new communications medium in beta format in the midst of the turmoil?

One small question I've asked is to open the text frame a bit more than six lines so I can read what I'm writing; even that seems too much to ask.

I have been informing my fellow Wikipedians on the Dutch wiki ever since this strategy project began, the enthusiasm has been less than halfhearted anyway (not to say cold), now don't make me have to tell them to run away from it as fast as they can.

P.S. I put this response about 4 times and always got the message "technical problems on this site", maybe this works.

It seems I'm asking several questions at the same time... maybe there are several topics at the same time?

Slowly figuring out how to make these pages more clear!

Hi,

  Have the taskforces results been announced. I have filled out the volunteer page to volunteer for the taskforce. I dont know if the results are out yet?

Dear Philippe,

It was nice to respond to your Next steps! message. I just answered some of the questions.

Thanks for bringing it to my notice.

Love,

Hey Philippe, Think the redesign goes in the right direction as does the "Next steps!" banner. Huge improvement! I would love for us to get folks to engage on the ESP content too, since there is valuable context there that folks can build on. Would be good to have navigation that points that way. Would also be good to encourage folks to help out the task forces by answering their questions OR linking their answers to task forces (so people can find their work and use it). More soon. Barry

yo, I love the new task force page -- very spiffy. It looks like there's a little disconnect b/t the template: Template:Sidebar and the page: Task_force? Sections are referred to as "ESP priorities" on the template but by name on the page, they should probably explicitly cross-reference to minimize confusion. I'd do it but a) I have to get something done at work right this minute and b) I don't want to screw it up :) will tackle tonight if doesn't get done beforehand. cheers --

Hi Philippe. I notice you are adding/expanding introductions to the ESP Key Questions pages. When I commented about these earlier, what I had in mind but failed to actually mention was that names such as "ESP 1", "ESP 2", & etc. are not very descriptive. Even though there is a system-generated link to the parent page, a succinct statement of the topic area would be very helpful to those who are not task force insiders familiar with such jargon. ~ Ningauble 20:44, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Just hassling Philippe by testing LT on this talkpage. I am probably done now :-)

I forgot to archive my talk page before adding liquid threads ... Dedalus 17:54, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
