Further note from Tara Hunt: "How not to build a community: Part I: the anti-community " http://www.horsepigcow.com/2006/06/how-not-to-build-community-part-i-anti.html "The first mistake I ever made in community fostering is to position the company I worked for in opposition to another one (can't find that post, but I was an idiot). So let me offer this unsolicited advice: Rule #1 in building your own reputation is to never ever ever build it on the grounds that it is different/better/etc. than an established company" See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_%28software_development%29 - the successful forks don't spend their time railing against the other tine of the fork ... they get on with being good of their own account. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
