I’m also curious about this. Just looking at public visible participation, I’m at a loss to understand how certain people are included in the initial list, but, much more importantly, why certain people are excluded - people who have participated much more than others who have been included. I’d be happy to name names and share my data analysis, but I don’t really want to call anyone out here. I just want to ensure that folks doing the work are invited to the party, and given ownership of what they have helped create. I would encourage the leaders of this community to take a hard look at who has been doing the work, and grant these people some ownership of the initial community. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
