I welcome this appointment. I have complained long and hard about the vague line between the community and the WMF, the lack of transparency, and the oblivion as to who is really in charge of anything. The issues surrounding the ACTRIAL and the India Education Program were prime examples. When I drafted and proposed the New Page Patrol Survey, I almost took for granted that it was going to be another lost cause, but working with Oliver and Howie has restored some of my confidence that the community's voice will be better heard in the future. Congratulations to Oliver on his new post. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:17, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Kudpung! It's genuinely great to know I've started to help improve things. As always, a lot of credit has to go to you - your workload is phenomenal. Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 13:28, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oliver is an excellent choice as a representative of the community and I am pleased that the low value, space-hogging atrocity that is the feedback bar is being remade from the ground up. Keep the vertical height tiny, please! And we particularly don't need the "I am an expert on this subject" box. Carrite (talk) 18:52, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll take that into account! You know, we've got an Office Hours session tonight to discuss it - want to come along? If so, I can ping you the details. Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 13:38, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
