You are experiencing "the Fedora participation effect." It is akin to what happens in other FLOSS projects, combined with a savvy yet slower moving corporate best buddy that throws our orbit into a warble. Two points: * Idea work need not be lost, it can be turned in to compost that feeds the next round of ideas in to fruition. * Critical mass is elusive, you cannot predict when it happens, and then you are in the middle of it. :) Be assured, all of the ideas and work are not loss, it was an important part of getting to critical mass. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Community Gardener Dev Fu : http://developer.redhatmagazine.com Fedora : http://quaid.fedorapeople.org gpg key : AD0E0C41
