So far they haven't had a welcoming environment to express their views. Our top three doc writers are me, Trevor, and James; all three of whom have felt quite disrespected at least once in the past year. Language is a tool which affects people in different ways. Perhaps doc writers are more sensitive to language; perhaps it's a cross-cultural issue; perhaps it's just a fluke. The bottom line is that the lilypond development community has lost potential documentation work (and ideas) due to the way that some emails were written. I am, of course, trying to repair this damage and guide the community into not causing such damage in the future, but it takes time. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
