I know some people are eager to help with creating these libraries. Please give me some time to develop a coherent process for making sure a desire to help can also translate into great results. The message you quote says a similar thing. Lots of things need to happen. It is not possible to do everything at the same time. Seven days is not a long time, especially when they contain a 3 day weekend. Especially when I have a set of goals for the next few weeks based on what *I *think are the most important things to get done. One of my short term goals is to finally get process bot <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/elm-dev/process$20bot/elm-dev/SnfGqk5XBgg/c1IpV4UvAgAJ> working to help with this. Literally addressing this exact issue because I know it's important and it can be done better. I want process bot to talk about expectations <https://github.com/process-bot/the-process/blob/master/expectations.md> in a way that is very relevant. I wrote that a long time ago, but instead of finishing the project, I worked on "the most important thing" so it is still not communicated clearly. I think this comment <https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-package/pull/177#issuecomment-220825568> is a nice illustration of this. It turns out (1) I was working on 0.17 which was pretty important and (2) the actual situation was more complicated than everyone thought. When I finally got a chance to give it my full attention, the outcome was pretty great! So yes, it could have been quicker, but I also think it's hard to retroactively disagree with my prioritization decisions once I was able to actually get them out the door. In the case you are reacting to, I am basically saying: for someone just trying to make something, use ports. That'll be fast and it'll work. Yes, there are things going on that might make it easier *later*, but they are not ready yet. So I read things as "I know you want to achieve X today, but instead of telling you how, I will tell you about something that is not released yet." Everything there is true, but it's not good advice for that person! On Thursday, June 2, 2016 at 8:35:24 AM UTC-7, Justin wrote: > > +1 on everything your saying here Peter.
