Yes. I wrote the quote you cite, and I stick by it. My process often goes something like: 1) Want to find something. 2) Get frustrated that it doesn't exists (be it stats, or wiki articles, or whatever). 3) Decide to create it myself. So yes, I often choose areas to work on as a result of channeling my frustrations. Usually that frustration is directly tied to something I want to see accomplished, which hasn't been. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
