I broadly agree, yes. I actually hear that sentiment often. I have to keep reminding myself that it's important to be positive, even when people are choosing to react negatively. > The fact that we now need something different is not a failing of > what we have done so far, it is a sign of growth. I agree. In particular, we have to deal with a community with a vast number of registered users of whom a tiny proportion are participants in the community. We also have a situation where the vast majority of the people actually working on the code from day to day are silent in the community. It seems to me that the sort of dual focus Glynn suggests has promise as a vehicle for addressing this. I'd suggest we evolve the good parts and positively correct the bad parts of what he is proposing. S. _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
