[19:26] <greg-g> morning
[21:45] <cmaloney> How goes?
[22:01] <greg-g> eh
[22:01] <greg-g> meh
[22:02] <cmaloney> That good eh?
[22:02] <greg-g> headachey saturdays are my least favorite
[22:02] <cmaloney> Ugh, headaches are the worst
[22:03] <greg-g> that and "monetizing the API" has come up as a discussion on the public movement-wide mailing list for Wikimedia: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2016-January/thread.html

[22:03] <greg-g> Lila Tretikov is our ED
[22:03] <cmaloney> nice
[22:03] <greg-g> yeah, I'm not happy with the idea, obviously :)
[22:04] <cmaloney> I think the second post sums up my feelings quite nice
[22:04] <greg-g> https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2016-January/081127.html ?
[22:05] <cmaloney> Yep

[22:05] <cmaloney> Thing is if you monetize one piece you might as well go all in
[22:06] <cmaloney> because it's all or nothing
[22:06] <cmaloney> and folks will figure out ways to get around paying
[22:06] <cmaloney> eg: scraping the site. :)
[22:06] <greg-g> yuup
[22:08] <cmaloney> And whenever money comes into the conversation it taints it
[22:08] <cmaloney> and nobody, but nobody wants that taint
