Ciao Jeremy and all

This is a comment slightly from a weird position (probably) from your point 
of view. I'm not thinking here as a developer. I'm thinking as a social 
anthropologist.

I am reading several discussions at the moment about proposals for 
innovation in development process, documentation and addressing user needs 
better.

I am, frankly, feeling some of this effort could be wasted because IMO the 
single biggest danger with TW is *yet more fragmentation*. The GitHub side 
is the most integrated and consistent at the moment. 

Out in the world of end-users some of us are struggling to 
join-the-informational-dots of the scattered resources so everyone knows 
what is where. just finding things, plugins, tutorials, example TW etc is 
almost a full-time job.

On the dev end my concern is: could the desire to improve actually have 
unintended consequences that actually increase fragmentation?

Just thoughts
Josiah
