Direkte Ansprechperson für Medienbetrachter?

Hallo Dirk, nachdem ich stark davon ausgehe, dass hierauf zeitnah keine Reaktion kommen wird: gibt es in de:Wiki irgendwen den ich direkt diesbezüglich ansprechen und eine Antwort erhalten kann? Eine Antwort wäre nämlich wirklich schön und ich habe keine Lust mich in die endlosen tiefen von Mediawiki einzuarbeiten um dann womöglich von nem Entwickler oder Product Manager typischerweise unfreundlich abgewatscht zu werden. Danke schonmal im voraus. --Bomzibar (Diskussion) 14:13, 7. Jun. 2014 (CEST) PS: Wüsstest du da vielleicht auch jemanden im Zusammenhang mit Echo? Da warte ich seit über anderthalb Monaten auf eine Reaktion. Das stärkt in meinen AUgen nicht gerade die Neuheitenakzeptanz die hier ja eh nicht gerade hoch ist.

Hi Bomzibar. Ich antworte Dir mal da auf der Seite. -- Dirk Franke (WMDE) (Diskussion) 14:23, 7. Jun. 2014 (CEST)

Wie seiht es aus?

Du hattest vor 5 Monaten eine Anwort versprochen, wie sieht's aus? syrcroпедия 17:04, 9. Jun. 2014 (CEST)

Ja, würde mich durchaus auch interessieren ;-) Gestumblindi 21:39, 9. Jun. 2014 (CEST)
Hallo? syrcroпедия 10:25, 20. Jun. 2014 (CEST)
Sorry. Anscheinend ein Kommunikationsloch zwischen mir und Mathias, bei dem wir beide davon ausgingen, dass der andere schreibt. Wobei ich letztlich nur seine Worte paraphrasieren würde. -- Dirk Franke (WMDE) (Diskussion) 10:43, 20. Jun. 2014 (CEST)
