The main issue is not whether the author knows English (though that's important if you're going to publish articles in English for an English-reading audience, IMHO). Rather, it's that the author evidently hasn't done any due diligence to check whether the things he or she is writing have any basis in fact (or even make any sense at all). Instead, it looks like the author just skimmed our website and the arch spec doc, made a bunch of unfounded assumptions, then wrote the article. If the author isn't going to take the time and effort to look into Qubes a bit more before writing about it, why should our developers take time away from their work to contact him or her? Also, remember that we have little (and, in some cases, no) control over what other people publish about Qubes in independent publications and on various websites. Responsible journalists typically contact us before writing a story about us. I think it would be a fool's errand for us to try to contact every author of every article about Qubes that contains a factual error (even egregious ones) without carefully considering the importance (based on things like the reputation of the publication and the breadth of its readership) and the opportunity cost of doing so. - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJXhCa4AAoJENtN07w5UDAw7Q4QAJyND4CceI4VV+phxRzqY/9M wyVGiygDvAsu0wWIA7AiWOCb7epuHR4BlavA39mLC5D9YV8eSRnXA5gZO3+XLy14 8dgX+Wb/JfTLpOpgrmfvSOtigqpJRuoiMV5NPGRXCpWNtjbsIzBJqUhodIXc2ArV SuY6NiVjKJESK7BSaqEeyajo6DpbK5CCWwNgq39JBj1wCr+/aRbZpXcRoUsMaQ/8 KGOOFM8V+4fmU1AUA+1lqz7RpQyTK8uFVCyM3LZgt/RurbWuviwiorfb7zEBXTWb q+XBW2gGQd8ZOaHalXPAT9mQ6kbjbssDauavZKdls30bKzLP0TNE0QYuvQ42mQgD nIQvuYjyqshsEoaa237e2OiNW2wL40pBpjqiachg4LCmN7Q3oFUKpXcWIS3zSaip gQ/mgKnFX8zamytSrMjkdsIyuHHILiZr/UsSNXeFdVr89ZBp3UFWqj7wn0/fM++J E7qzTDdk2LFdkJ5aNE+RHVGr3KsPP/7EvYhsLnPciyHMUnDh/gSJfH/XqQJuMj0+ ABKtnQcoLcZShuuU3ZEYxQpMnld9/cTjuh13fxt/2Tbn8qPKtNmKAe5ZRNiItqDi hLbo41DBrYov/n5/QpN0ljTLaHI1zT9zMoPmS++ISS1JA4GC6O3x6Tx16Ktsuel9 seCQfBMSS2l0hfcKRXb6 =DXdG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
