Allow me an analogy if you will:
Consider a burgeoning city. There are people who have been around a long
time. Some are politicians, some work for the city, some are just good
citizens. These people see newcomers in the commons and greet them with
open arms. Those who have only been around a while see those and see that
this is a city where new people are welcome, and they do the same as the
old timers, welcoming new residents and visitors alike, and they also
feel even more welcome than before they noticed that. Though newcomers
must wait a while and gain the trust of the old-timers to call themselves
citizens, they are already encouraged to participate in discussions at
every level and to organize themselves in the same way as the old-timers.
Now consider a different city. Things are quiet in the commons. Newcomers
are greeted with a sign. "Newcomers over there->". That part of town is
unknown to the rest of the world. It has less infrastructure. It also
has very little representation in the government. The line is very clear
between the citizens and the newcomers. When the newcomers want to become
full citizens, they have to go before a council of old-timers, some of
whom have specifically decided to ignore newcomers until this moment.
Now, choose which city will grow faster and produce more innovation.
You do have the best stories.
Here is what I am feeling.
I wonder what percentage of posts from stackforge projects are posts
dealing with development details and what percentage of the posts are
marketing?
I have no stomach for the marketing but no idea how to reduce its
prevalance from the new projects. If the lists are split I don't have to
have the marketing while consuming (or trying to consume) the news.
So no solution, just my perspective.
Thanks,
Anita.
