^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|

|
|
Patience or impatience is simply not the issue. You asked for
|
|
comments, and now you seem peeved that some of them are negative.
|
|
|
|
This idea of yours of "from scratch" is *exactly* the problem! This
|
|
silly attitude comes through loud and clear on the site as it is, and
|
|
it's just patently false. What *precisely* are you guys doing "from
|
|
scratch"? After all, you started with a TON of pre-existing
|
|
material. There was already a website, already a mountain of
|
|
documentation (and backed up documentation), there was already an
|
|
identifiable "brand", namely, "LDP".
|
|
|
|
If you can't see how inappropriately self-promotive the site is, I
|
|
suggest you compare it to 10 or 20 of your favorite free software
|
|
projects. Are any of them so upfront about the "core team"? I don't
|
|
think so.
|
|
|
|
You asked for comments. You've gotten some from two different people,
|
|
both of which suggest, at least, a modulation of the way the "core
|
|
team" is being presented.
|
|
|
|
Choose to do with it what you will, you did solicit feedback. If you
|
|
don't like it, that's fine. But distorting the history of the LDP by
|
|
claiming to be doing much of anything "from scratch" is patently
|
|
false.
|
|
|
|
Best,
|
|
|
