 * There is a feedback policy: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Feedback_policy is a big surprise. It seems that only Wikimedia Foundation cares about the Wikipedia. But it gives an impression that many other people edit here? And i had originally the impression that the software used is open source as well?


 * And this feedback thingy looks great, but i cannot understand it :)


 * Do you know what " the server confidentially stores related IP information for a limited period of time. This information is automatically deleted after a set period." stated in the privacy policy means in real life? How long it is stored?


 * :) I'm fairly new to the 'new user feedback' mechanism. I like the idea of it, but I'm not sure it doesn't complicate things just a little bit. I do know that Wikimedia/Wikipedia cares a great deal about welcoming and developing new editors for the project. I think the feedback is a great thing.
 * Yes, my understanding is that the software IS open source and downloadable. I'm afraid that I don't know the answers to your questions about the privacy policy. I would assume, like most websites, that IP addresses are stored automatically.  Editors that do not have log in IDs will have their IP addresses recorded with their edits.

 * Could you change the feedback policy to make it somehow not like a companies policy? I suppose you do not work for the foundation as well?


 * I don't work for the foundation and certainly can't change the policy! :) If you look at the privacy policy page you'll notice that, like all other pages in Wikipedia, there is a 'Talk Page' . You can read through the discussions and perhaps get a sense of how the policy is developed and modified. (You'll also see my question about how long IP information is stored!)
