Indeed, it was this continued refrain and attitude that caused me to decide that it was a complete waste of my time to attempt to help to contribute to, or even simply understand, the plan and requirements. That others may have met the same deplorable attitude and made similar decisions to stop contributing directly to the "website" does not surprise me. The shame of it seems to me to be the fact that the most public facing artifact of the OpenSolaris "community" is the one place where a shared sense of "community" seems to be lacking. In all of the other community areas where I directly contribute or monitor, there are many remaining gaps that seem as though as they'll never be covered. But at least in all those other examples, the folks involved seem genuinely interested in trying to fix things. _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
