Hi again, Glad we've cleared this all up. Just a couple of little responses.
At 06:35 PM 7/15/2006, you wrote: Granted, but they have already admitted they won't have drupal [sp] up
anytime soon.
JL: Ah, OK. I must've missed that somewhere down the line, or else had forgotten. I don't remember seeing anything about a timeline from them. My apologies.
Perhaps you were overly diplomatic, or maybe I am just being dense!
JL: I tend to think it was my overly dipplomatic way of stating things, which I am sadly famous for in other communities. It may have been a little of both, but I think we're on the same page now. *smile*
You may be better tuned into the pulse of the community than I, but my impression is that the success of Apple and VoiceOver are very much tangental to our efforts. I think the likes of Jay Leventhal are missing a trend they can either lead or follow. I don't think political correctness matters much when huge forces, like the aging baby boomers, will change everything over the next decade.
JL: You may be right. As far as being tuned in, I am primarily tuned into the VI gaming community, but I have seen quite a lot of cross-over between various groups.
Do you feel that supporting the wiki effort endorses Gabe's other behavior?
JL: Not really, no. I would especially feel better about it if the content was made the property of the community at large through Creative Commons, as Allestor suggested. (hope I got the spelling right there.) Being able to later move the content to somewhere like MacVissionaries or ScreenlessSwitchers would be a great option.
Thank goodness for that! Condemnation from someone with your reputation of the fledgling MacVisionaries list could have killed it at the beginning.
JL: LOL. Do I have that much of a reputation? I try to stay informed on my industry, but have little idea of what anyone is saying about me personally. *sheepish grin*
Mea culpa! Your contributions to the Mac VI are quite famous. You have already done enough for two or three life times! I am alarmed because we are so desperate for a wiki. and Gabe contribution is drawing fire even before it is launched.
JL: I certainly can appreciate that. My contributions are famous?!
Oops. And there I go again...
JL: Dear dear...not a Britney reference! Kidding. Glad we sorted this out.
