Sorry for the really vague subject line, but I honestly can't think of what
would be rellavant to put.
Anyway, I have two questions.
first of all, let's face the blunt truth. Kevin might not like me saying
this, and might get a bit irritated at me, but this isn't to shame him, nor
is it to knock him nor anyone else down, etc. OK? I want to clear that out
of the way from the extreme get go. I am not! and I, repeat, I, am, not!
accusing anyone! here of anything, so don't even go there!
Kevin made a WordPress blog at
http://www.pt-access.net
This site/domain name has been there now for at least a year, if not
slightly more, give or take a few months. I've asked once on list about
this, and Kevin seemed slightly irked that I did so, or at least that's how
I took it. I had asked what the status was on the design of the content on
the site. I've written Kevin both on and off list and have asked time after
time after time again over Twitter, as well as privately via e-mail and all
I get is something along the lines of: "If anyone contributes any content
I'll be happy to put it up." I don't know about others on here... that? I
cannot speak to nor, of, but what I can! tell you all is I've offered
multiple times to contribute things, being audio demonstrations, tutorials,
write-ups, being an editer if needed, I've even offered to help him
manage/administrate the blog if needed. Face it! It's been over a year,
and not a single thing has been put up there. Not even one. Again, I
reidderate that I am not shaming nor blaming anyone here. I'm simply
stating fact of matter that no one can argue the truth of. I don't know
what the reasonning is behind why I and maybe, though not sure, others have
offered to put things up and they've not been apparently acted upon.
Frankly the reasons are none of our business, Kevin's probably just
extremely busy, I'll give him that, as he does do music professionally, but
people, let's be totally realistic here, ok? Kevin, the only reason I'm
publicly writing this, and not writing you privately with this concern is
that I've addressed this off list with you before, and really didn't get
anywhere. Had I, I would not have gone to this measure.
Look, the PT access mailing list is a wonderful resource, and I do mean
wonderful! But! I also think that blog was a great idea! I remember how
excited Kevin was when he first launched the site. I just wonder what
happened. It's a little unsettling, frankly. I can't even comment up
there, as he's apparently disabled user registration, as well as user
commenting. So, yeah, I dono... I mean, Kevin, you're paying for the web
hosting, and you're paying for the domain, and possibly even for the blog
depending on where you're hosting it. I mean, really... is it worth paying
for the hosting of that domain/blog if no one's gonna use it/contribute, and
when we offer, it's apparently looked over whether intentially or not? I
just wonder ultimately if the web site is really worth the justification.
You know? With all due respect to Kevin and the list... Just my thought,
take it or leave it, either way's fine by me, jsut don't be rude about it.
that's all I ask. It's my opinion, not my fact.
OK, the second question is, has anyone yet updated to PT 11? If so, and
using Mountain Lion, how're the counters/edit boxes and the other
accessibility issues we were having in V10? Have they improved? I'm
considering upgrading, but I'm not about! to pay $250 to do so, unless you
all can promise me! that things've been fixed to a large extent.
Anyway, thanks for the thoughts on the first thing, and the answers for my
second question.
Chris.
