I'm in a relationship with Emma and she doesn't care, and Scott certainly knows that we all have other affiliations and history. I explained to Scott last summer that Anonymous isn't a formal group and that at any rate the people I know from it are from the ideological faction. They protest in front of Scientology churches and post anti-scientology material on the internet. Some percentage of them DDOS'd Scientology websites. Eisler and Hastings find the movement admirable and fascinating and so do a lot of others. Anyway, if Scott objects to any of the participants I've brought on he needs to tell me directly; all he's done so far is to point out that a participant has a tenuous connection to a self-proclaimed branch of a non-group that I publicly advocate in articles for mainstream outlets and which is popular among the sort of people we're working with, and I don't know what I could tell him that I haven't told him already. Having said that, if you get the sense that he is still concerned about this, perhaps you can reassure him? And if you think I've gauging this incorrectly do let me know.

Re:  Project PM having chan/Anonymous connections--may want to reassure folks that it's just incidental; we all have other affiliations and history.

Can someone tell me what this is about, I have forgotten everything. Is Shadow a real person or a *bot* whatever that is. Sorry, have the flu. But my dad is Tim Berners Lee so bow. x

Can someone refresh my memory on why the probationary period was rejected? Sorry but my memory sucks.

No, the changes appear to be fine. I've also made changes to the other document on specs to remove the portion regarding a probationary period for bloggers as per our conversation with Campbell and the others.

So I see Shadow has made some modifications to the Initial Release Spec document Sundeep created.

I didn't notice any gross changes so I assume the adjustments were both minor and benign.

Since I was curious who this Shadow Wednesday was I did some quick Googling and came the conclusion that Shadow is associated with Quebec's branch of Anonymous.

Barrett, I take it I need not concern myself with the changes?
