I haven't said much during this exchange, but this response surprised me. Developers getting worn down by the hate is a real thing. It's so not fair to say that developers who get worn down are too emotionally invested or are otherwise doing it wrong. We have this problem with Miro right now where we've got a tiny staff of developers and no customer relations kind of person. Thus developers like me end up sifting through the hate. We've been discussing this problem on our mailing list and it's probably the case all the devs are going to stop reading the forums. This got sent out this morning and really summed up the whole problem for us: http://jeff-vogel.blogspot.com/2011/01/three-reasons-creators-should-never.html This isn't anything new. This is not a "developers who feel worn down are deficient" problem. This is a "there needs to be someone in between" problem. My question is one of ignorance: does the GNOME community have a team of people who stand between the developers and the various forums? /will -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
