Kay, I'm sure you mean well, and I don't mean to be too harsh. I tried rewriting the above paragraph, but I don't know how else to put it. I just want you to see how things look from the point of view of those who don't have direct control of the website. It is important that people see their effort being received. For example, I've made and update to the contribution page. It's a very simple one. Just changing a few links, editing a couple of lines. And it just sits there. Look at the comments from Andrew Brown. And where is Nicu? Do you wonder where he went?I don't think you're being harsh, and I understand your frustration, but again, welcome to the real world. Anytime you're IN a work environment like this that involves MANY people, this is what happens Daniel. I don't know what your current life experiences are, but, given my time here on earth, this has been my discovery.
Hi --
One of the benefits of being old, grey and wrinkled is the plethora of "real world" experience that comes with it, which I think I can say I have -- and frankly, I have never seen the like, whether the project involved one person or 100.
Quite. I have spent twenty years working for newspapers, which wrote, edit and publish every single day more material than there has ever been on OOo website. I watched the Independent being invented in 1986, and helped invent it. If the web site committee had been in charge the paper still wouldn't have been published once.
Doing work that never sees the light of day, either because it sits in a box somewhere, or because it's overruled by another group, or because it's "trashed" by someone with a different agenda -- the end result is the same: why bother?
