The general tone on this item of discussion is "This is what I want/need, therefore, that is the best solution (for everybody)". What I have not seen is any concession to gather information. What I have seen is a lot of data-free analysis.
What I would like to see is some examination of the traffic and what sort of organization can be placed on it. On 7/24/07, Jonathon Suggs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

However, we are starting to get some interest from people who fall into that middle ground category. They follow technology (to an extent) but aren't willing/capable to actively develop. So we are suggesting creating a forum to be able to answer their basic questions...ones that they wouldn't register on a mailing list to ask. Mailing lists are great tools for keeping the developers in touch, and so we should not change that (nor has that even been suggested). We are merely trying to establish another method to communicate with potential customers, even if they aren't going to be purchasing for 6-12 months. Sorry for being so aggressive in my posts, but seeing people shoot down the thoughts/ideas just because it doesn't "suit them" is a little arrogant/snobby. Anyway, thanks for bringing the tone down a little and making good solid points. -Jonathon _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
