I cannot speak for Bjoern, but what resonated well with me is the "project over product" (or also called "community over code" elsewhere) line. Which says, to be successful in the long term, the advise is to generally favour community needs over user needs (and as a corollary, also focus marketing on attracting more contributors, rather than more users). And I agree with that approach. Of course, a sweet spot & a virtuous circle is when your community is motivated to build a great product; and in turn growing numbers of users of said product can be won as contributors. The discussion was not about that desirable state though, but for the case that there is a conflict. Cheers, -- Thorsten
