There's so many things wrong with the above paragraph. - "Assume people mean well". Well, seems that I'm not granted the benefit of the doubt. - Sri's initial email made me think that it was an initiative by the marketing team, which Emily is a part of. It seems reasonable to think that she would be involved in this at one point or another. - And "discontent". Well, I think that I have reasonable doubts to think that those community managers wouldn't be able to carry the message of developers truthfully if said developers aren't being talked to. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
