Hi all, I have noticed that some of the policies of this project are already veering towards a brand of technical elitism that I feel is completely contrary to the stated goal of having a stronger community.
A strong community welcomes 'outsiders' and noobs and helps them find their place in the community and *helps* them learn how to to participate in a friendly, open manner. Technical elitism tends give a 'you're not good enough / you don't think like us, go away' feel to a community. The 'we won't event look at your bug report if it doesn't meet the special format we came up with that no one else uses' policy is I fear an example of this. I realize the reason for it is to try and get better quality bug reports, and less ones that aren't useful, but I don't think that is necessarily a good way to about it. If LEDE is *serious* about community some of it's core members need to rethink how they approach contributions and the project. Perhaps time is the issue, and perhaps the issue is attitude, or perhaps it's a bit of both. Either way, if nothing genuinely changes from what was the case in OpenWrt, this project and OpenWrt will both die.
