Nonsense. If there is not buy in from the core developers, there is no perceived stability in direction. This is absolutely not stuff the core developers should ignore or 'not-be-bothered' with, IFF they want to see the platform stay viable and not become another dead web framework that no one can convince their clients to use. Now, that said, I was not saying Ben should be spending time writing marketing material. My complaint was that the last time this came up, there was very little interest expressed in the marketing conversation. I am very glad to be corrected on this. Ben, the only signs of interest I was hoping for were some piping in on the marketing threads. It really makes a difference to those trying to become involved to see that those in charge care for their efforts. thanks for piping up this time.
