Self Questions

• Difficulties I might have as a board member
  • English is not my native language, although I worked for 4 years in English speaking countries (India and Sri Lanka), and I still work a big part of my time in English.
  • Board member is a occupation which needs time. I decided to work part-time if elected to be able to cope with the amount of work needed for the Foundation.

Users' Questions

Lesser-known projects

What is your opinion on some of the projects that are not as well-known as Wikipedia? Would you favour a situation where attempts are made to nurture these projects rather than almost-solely concentrate on the one that has the highest profile? --Brian McNeil / ^talk 14:46, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
