Facts in place of marketing could kill Free Software, I could swear
it.
Perhaps so, but IMO the vast majority of our users and potential
users have no interest in community or meaning or even fun --
they just want a great product that does what they want or need to
do, and therefore they want facts.
Obviously we see the world of software quite differently. (This may
well be a generational thing, at least partly.) Your emphasis is on
the production side; my interest and emphasis is on the consumption
(user) side.
Actually I don't believe we have that of a different view. We see the
same issues from two different vantage points. It's not an either/or
thing; you focus on the consuming side - we tried to improve that by
orders of magnitude by getting rid of pages of text no one reads and
make it simpler to grasp the idea - but we do have another specific
objective, which is to improve and grow the community. In this sense
the redesign has to meet these two goals.
best,
Charles.
