Just to be clear, I'm not bickering... or posturing, or anything else. James is my friend, still. I don't have a side, or anything else. I just wish that some of the 'attitude' would go away. It's tiresome, and judging from the email I've gotten/read about it, it's couterproductive to anyone listening. > (E)(EUG)LUG needs some direction (i probably do too...) i hope that is what > will be discussed on thursday, because the intent of the thursday meeting > was never really clear to me. i want to help and contribute, but i don't > even have the faintest idea where to start here. Come to the meeting.

No. That is one of the points of having a meeting about all of this, to discuss what and where and how EUGLUG is and will do stuff... Yes, questions should be posted here, and I'm not aware too many people being turned away from help (keep in mind that often one person might say RTFM, but often someone pipes up with a more useful answer...). I'm concerned that you are percieving this list as being really unfriendly toward newbies, which would be a problem if it is (I'm not sure it is though). > also, this mailing list is way too fluid to be used for announcements. i > vote for a web page (not wiki) where announcements are posted (and not the > same ones from a year ago. team EUGLUG has done @9.5 years of research, not > 6...) i'll administer it if i have to. I'm sure Rob Hudson would love some volunteer help if you want to help with content...
