Hey -- Is this your way of volunteering to help? Sweet! Drop Baker your information so we can get you set up!
The project, being 100% volunteer, has been through LOTS of hands. If you'd like to help, you can then criticize the heck out of it. And if you don't want to help, then let your issues be known WITHOUT editorial. Is that so much to ask? There are probably LOTS of implementation issues on getting this out the door -- This is a VOLUNTEER project -- the work was started in Australia, loose ends as found updated from the U.S. on a server based in Europe - And we're on a machine that is 'under-licensed' for the onslaught of people curious to see what's behind the flap once it was tossed out there - there really wasn't a way to do a 'follow the sun' release announcement to limit the risk to running out of seats on a machine that will normally have 3 people a day touch it! I'm guessing many of the issues being seen are from too many people online at once. There WILL be issues for the first few weeks/months. Sorry about reality being such a bitch... REMEMBER -- This is volunteer work being done to make the world a better place for everyone... Cut some slack for those people so they have incentive to keep working on it. Or at least man up (person up?) enough to post your name if you're going to post a bitch! I'm not part of this project directly, but it really irks me when people who won't even sign their name criticize things they were 'too busy' (lazy?) to help with. This is like voting -- either be part of the process or shut the heck up! They need the feedback on what is not working correctly so it can be fixed. The editorials... Not so much. If that steps on any toes, I'm equally as sorry as I'm sure this poster was. ;-) And that is my two cents. Returning you now to your regularly scheduled non-flame-related list... And really folks -- give it a week or two to settle down. Send any 'found issues' or 'connection problems' to the group so they can be reviewed -- if possible, include the time (and your TimeZone!) and your browser used (along with version). Hopefully with the data they can find out if the issue is 'seats' (and then perhaps can get IBM to donate more!) or a particular browser is having issues that needs particular review. I can promise you no one tested this with Chrome or Safari -- no one in the volunteer groups uses those! So again, if you want to vollunteer to 'beta test' your favorite flavor of browser, PLEASE let Baker know -- they can always use more help. Without editorial.
