[00:01:18] if nothing else board is as close to a platform leadership as exists, and some leadership and directive is a much needed ingredient for miraheze [00:01:41] if only by virtue of board members as community leaders organizing things more than the board itself as an entity, since the duties of that entity are a bit narrow and simple [00:03:14] [1/2] * remember to feed the servers [00:03:14] [2/2] * dont get sued [00:11:20] yuh [01:45:49] Yep, exactly so. Board is inherently and intentionally a weak entity - it's a financial and legal caretaker to enable the space for the project to continue operating and evolving, making decisions when they're needed. [01:46:50] Part of the slowdown on meetings is that a lot of the baseline stakes have already been debated and finalized w/r/t foundation policy [01:47:35] Where real action continues are projects driven in a personal capacity/initiative [02:03:24] Totally agree on this point. I'm hoping next month will be a substantial downturn in my other obligations, which'll afford me time to do more of this type of planning/championing. [02:03:57] Hopefully we can all get some good things brewing with more bandwidth at our disposal [02:26:44] queue the summer montage! [02:41:02] Hot Miraheze summerrrrrrrr [02:45:13] mandatory desert sequence where we are trying to find more victims the necronomicon more water for the servers more volunteers [03:21:59] Re: stalled RfCs, from my perspective, it feels like RfCs in drafting are easy to forget, especially if there's a lot of stuff to fix about it and whoever proposes it loses momentum/drive to edit it extensively. [03:24:12] To me, it feels like a visible single-topic blogpost (or if we're going back to the ye olde days: a forum threads) where all discussion on an RfC can be consolidated and users can speak to each other about only that topic in a back-and-forth could be more useful for moving individual RfCs forward than just a general update blogpost. [03:25:08] Like, Talk pages are nice, but it's hard to get a back-and-forth going between multiple people on them, you know? While the nature of Discord means conversations are easily lost/buried, with forum threads on Discord easily being forgotten since they can be hidden from channel lists.
