In the mean time, I see you disagreeing with Roan that volunteers should cut the staff developers, especially the newer members thereof, some slack and assume good faith, which just doesn't connect. You should be agreeing with him - we should all be looking for ways to be nicer and more understanding of each other. If volunteers continue attacking staff developers then those few people will only hear about how the volunteers are being unfair, mean, and are more trouble than they are worth... Now - I don't want to accuse of you dissagreeing, I'm just stating that I found your message to be conflicting. As Erik has said on list just now - I think we all agree far more than we dissagree. And that's something that should bring us all together, not tear us apart. There is no crisis here, there's only a bunch of passionate people working to make things better - and I personally am thankful that we all care enough to talk about this. If the community was really dieing, this thread would have been one post long. - Trevor _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
