We're not discounting that. The issue is that people (rightfully)
point out flaws, but leave the process of improvement dangling right
there. I understand it's hard to find time to fix these things, but
I'd love to see these compliants being accompanied with a positive proposal
("I'll fix it, I'll organize getting it fixed, who will organize
getting it fixed but I'll help, how can I help getting this
fixed, etc"). Lets just say I see more flaws pointed out than offers for
help.
And this isn't directed at Thomas, or Lucia, or anyone in particular.
If they'd be the first to do so in the history of our project I
probably wouldn't even have noticed. There's always someone
unfortunate enough to post the message that sparks of a debate like
this. It may not feel this way but it really isn't anything personal.

See, what I'd like this to have read was:
"I'll take action to organize the midgard-project website...", or even
"This is a call for volunteers to organize the midgard-project
website...". Saying that 'we'(who?) 'should'(when? how?) fix something
generally doesn't get things actually fixed. And frankly, if a call for
volunteers doesn't spark any interest, how can it be an urgent problem
("scratch an itch", remember)?
