Hi, What we need is people saying I will do X, and then doing it. Deeper and more abstract debates around the marketing team are ok, but without this one-by-one initial commitment it's quite worthless, as we have seen in the past. I'll keep the responsibility to release the wgo revamp around the

Dudes and Dudettes, I would like to seek some clarification and offer some advice. I am sure it is old advice to some, but what the hay. We seem to be discussing two separate issues here: (1) Generating new ideas (2) Getting things done Brainstorming is perfect for (1) and crap for (2). And
