What's better than email?
I don't know. That's the point.
Your rant isn't especially motivating. Insulting a community is not a well documented tactic for change.
Please quote the exact line and place where I insulted anyone. In contrast, please read Richard Hamming's speech where he noted that colleagues were offended by straightforward points.
Maybe you can outline your vision for the future and we can come together to make that vision a reality? I want world peace but I don't quite have the Rails module built for it.
Even if I did have a vision for the future, the point that I'm making is that it would be one of thousands, and we need to tackle a different problem entirely.
How do we have a strategy for working out the next step forwards, instead of waiting to be hit over the head with something that makes us use it? We've got lots of things hitting us over the head. How do we know which one is the right bat being beaten on our craniums?
The suggestion about moving towards a different implementation of mailing lists is based on trying to have an environment where we can experiment with new ideas, instead of having to make the great leap forwards from email.
If we agree on some basic ideas like "3d is probably a good idea", then how about an absolute minimum 3d environment which is not compelling to anyone else but geowankers?
That's not the point though. The point is that we're sitting around typing into email, waiting for the next belt on the head. That's not efficient.
Let's start with a specification document and go from there.
That's the problem. Specifications come afterwards, not before. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
