I don't think we know either.
|
|
In my opinion the focus of the LDP should on the *documentation*, not
|
|
the reader or the writer. The readers and writers are certainly
|
|
stakeholders.
|
|
|
|
You raise another extremely important question though. What is the
|
|
purpose of this list?
|
|
|
|
We seem to have gone from a position of having two quite disparate
|
|
mailing lists, one open with very little ldp contributor input, and one
|
|
closed exclusively LDP contributor, to a situation where now we have
|
|
this list which has served mostly to carry over discussion from the
|
|
formerly private list and confusion as to what the heck the
|
|
ldp-private list is.

|
|
Being "nice" doesn't preclude one from being emotionally committed.
|
|
Being a volunteer almost guarantees some level of emotional engagement.

Some of us don't necessarily believe the web site properly represents
|
|
us. This is our project, and the web site, mirrored as it is in just
|
|
about every corner of the globe, is the most public face we have. If
|
|
what it says isn't what we believe then we'll dispute it. This isn't
|
|
the first time the banner ad issue has been raised and it's the nature
|
|
of the judgement used when entering into the contract in the first
|
|
place that was the particular aspect of the issue.

Don't let me discourage you from contributing opinion. I was a bit rash
|
|
in jumping on you, and I apologise for the unnecessarily blunt tone, but
|
|
the phrase "trust me" hit a raw nerve.
