Our excuse is that we tried to involve at least one prominent representative from each group inside the large OOo family, and taking their suggestions seriously. To paraphrase Italo - we basically drafted the train, laid the first ten meters of tracks - and now it's up to all of us to write the future. What generally works best for each of you individually is to actually do something - there's an abundance of stuff waiting to be done - and she who does, usually decides. That's why we called for a meritocracy. > What would have been so hard about putting together something to > post to all the lists at the same time as the press release. > It seems there were some areas, like looking after the community, > that were ignored.
