I think we have a selection bias in responses here. I've had a number of conversations with people who have talked about how they like to be involved in design decisions and keep up with the RFC style emails, but end up ignoring this list because of all the patches flying past, or feel intimidated into not getting involved due to all the code discussion. Maybe this just means we need to use the -users list more for these things, but that may suffer similar problems for different reasons. If I was to try to make the plural of anecdote be data.... then I would characterize these people as busy sysadmins who aren't spending their days writing lots of Ruby, aren't particularly interested in doing code reviews, but are interested in helping shape the development of the product at a higher conceptual level. > > -- Markus > ----------------------------------------------------------- > The power of accurate observation is > commonly called cynicism by those > who have not got it. ~George Bernard Shaw > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-dev?hl=en. > -- Nigel Kersten Product Manager, Puppet Labs http://www.puppetlabs.com Twitter: @nigelkersten -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
