Hello Alex,
you use the word “community” and it seems to me that has certain implications.
It is perhaps a sad truth that the word is used in OSS as a cliche or bromide,
that OSS is mostly a *hobby* for very smart people (men?) otherwise gainfully
employed, but I would like to believe that is not the case. Communities are not
built on technicalities, and the concerns of a community extend beyond the
technical.
Also, this is not about code, is it? It’s documentation.
Arnout Kazemier,
thank you for your response on English usage as a non-native speakers. I hope I
addressed the points you raise in my previous response on the thread.
Regards,
—ravi (I’ll try to ease off on the posting, after this one)
