Wikipedian Indians on Bishakha Datta's Appointment, from: The Hindu.comIndian feminist journalist and filmmaker Bishakha Datta was recent invited to join the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. She runs the Mumbai-based non-profit Point of View, which is "dedicated to disseminating women's perspectives through media, art and culture."
Noble gender balancing on behalf of Wikipedia San Francisco or a non-democratic cultural imperialist of Whites over Indian Wikipedian community?
Why, of course, the Wikimedia Foundation want trustees who know nothing about daily life on the Wikipedia!!! Let's see Bishakha Datta wiki-format a table or propose some hard core degradation pornography for deletion.

EXPLAINING HER PRIORITIES:
The virtual close-knit community of Wikipedians in India was bemused last week when the Wikimedia Foundation appointed its first ever Indian board member.
The predominantly male community was further astounded that the appointee was a woman, an “outsider†at that, with no background or involvement in wiki editing.
Even at the Bangalore Wikipedia meet, Ms. Dutta is conspicuous, being the only woman.
I'm having a hard time parsing what direction you are coming from here. Clearly the a board member does not need to have editing experience to contribute some to the board. In fact WMF needs to broaden the range of stakeholder represented beyond only Wikipedians. I
think we agree on this. I believe Ms. Dutta interest in rape etc is from an activist and journalistic perspective and not at all prurient. Your clip art graphic comic book format with images of child sexuality
while seeming to criticizing Wikipedia contributes a disturbing look and feel to the forum. Could you consider toning them down?
