[16:26:49] hey all, it looks like there’s no item on the agenda for RG [16:27:12] just added a note in the etherpad [16:42:33] And you get back an hour of work time! And you get one too! EVERYBODY GETS BACK AN HOUR OF WORK TIME!!! [16:43:02] * YuviPanda recently managed to whittle down his meeting load from 4h a week to 3h a week! [16:43:18] that's under 1h a week on average! [16:50:26] congrats YuviPanda [16:52:09] I am worried that we start seeing RG as a meeting though, it was meant as the exact opposite (create a space for discussing and presenting business) – and for full disclosure: I haven’t be able to attend the last couple of sessions but would have loved to :( [17:39:00] DarTar, don't worry. Once I'm back in gear, I'm going to have a bunch of stuff for RG. I'm just off balance now. [18:40:35] halfak: why is "forever" part of the definition? (in "before being removed forever") [18:41:03] It's a theoretical forever that is operationalized as the next 50 edits [18:43:32] gotcha [19:23:45] halAFK: and btw regarding your point about some bot activity maybe having moved to wikidata: didn't a lot of bot activity until 2012/13 consist of interwiki link additions? [20:36:34] HaeB, good point. That seems likely. [20:38:47] it should probably also be considered when examining the overall trend (since the interwiki activity 1. moved to wikidata, i.e. outside the scope of this metric and 2. became more more efficient - which was a major selling point for wikidata initially, after all ;) [21:56:21] DarTar, halfak: ready for party? :D [21:56:33] WOOOO! PARTY [21:56:35] * lzia can't wait. [21:56:38] starting the countdown [21:57:19] funnily, I am listening to Partyman (Prince, 1989) as we speak [21:57:25] hahaha [21:59:39] I've got Madeon Adventure going. [23:49:21] off to pick up the ladies, ttyl folks
