+1 It is very easy to monday-morning quaterback and second guess the decisions that were made in the distant past with perfect 20-20 hindsight. Some might even find it amusing to single out some of the participants and try to act as the judge, jury, and executioner of that person's reputation in the court of public opinion. But doing any of this is not terribly constructive. Building a community is hard work. It doesn't happen according to a time schedule. The code base that a community choses to form around may have more to do with timing, the demeaner of the participants, better alternatives not being very well publicized, or even dumb luck rather than technical merit. But in the long run, the code base with the strongest community generally emerges as the one with the most viability. And in the process will tend to gather those important secondary characteristics that we all value: quality, robustness, and a large user base. - Sam Ruby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
