You will find it hard to get articles into Wikipedia. It will likely be deleted as non-notable unless you can find lots of external sources.

You are better off taking photos of those areas and uploading them to Wikimedia Commons. I did this with the Australian City of Liverpool. I would show you with wiki-shootme but it seems to be down...

The one on Word was very, very interesting. Seems like there were a lot of jerks running the Opus project! I checked them out, and at least on of them died in a plane crash, and now has a foundation.

Isn’t this one of the reasons Wayland is often recommended? Forgive me if I’m getting confused on this point.

If Mullenweg attempts to fire the board that just suspended him, he would be weaponizing proxy votes against the very investors who originally granted them. While founder proxies are often structured to be irrevocable, using them to purge the board would almost certainly trigger a massive legal battle, attempts by investors to breach or revoke the proxy agreements, and severe financial instability for the company.

While he technically holds the votes required to disband the board, executing that move would ignite a corporate civil war rather than a clean transition of power.

Any reason needed?!? We can all see what he’s done!

This is likely how they pull out of the disasterous legal actions Mullenweg has taken.

RAII definitely removes whole classes of errors.
