Still that list (people with pull rights) is relatively short so it does
not make much sense to appeal to wider auditory.
Also I don't think volunteer effort can't be organized. It is a matter
of people identifying themselves as part of well-defined organization as
opposed to independent crowd of collaborators.
I think we could organize ourselves better, too. It's all a matter of
finding the right angle. But I think management is not what we need. We
need better leadership. Big difference.
It is a common wisdom
that if no one feels directly responsible for an issue, no one will ever
pay attention to it.
Yah, on the trite side even I'd opine :o). I said this several times
now, and I'll say it again: I have asked SEVERAL TIMES people
INDIVIDUALLY to do things that are HIGH IMPACT for the D language
instead of something else that was more important to them, to no avail.
Of course, it would be learned helplessness to draw sweeping conclusions
from the experience so far.
Do you need any specific proposals?
Suggestions for doing things better are gladly considered.
