The [[dwm]] deletion discussion has caught the interest of some of the
more nerdy online communities:

-

It's interesting to see the general levels of disgust and how few
current editors there are in comparison to former, and read the
dislike of WP:N.
I certainly hope the usability initiatives bear fruit and entice
regular people into becoming editors, because we're burning our
bridges among our original techy contributor base.
([[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dwm (2nd nomination)]] is trending
keep, but many FLOSS articles have been deleted lately, and many will
yet feel the axe.)
