Re Angela's mention of the "community" discussing and deciding things.
Just how many folks are subscribed to Foundation-l? What percentage of them actually contribute to Foundation-l when a new project is proposed, or a question is raised? I've spent a lot of time on a lot of lists (founded and moderated one for three years), and this one is, well, quite inactive. And not only that, it's sometimes not very civil (e.g. "Do it yourself").
Communities are groups of individuals with common interests who unite to further those interests. They have to contribute. They have to be helpful. Do the subscribers to Foundation-l contribute? Are they helpful? A more basic question: do they even have common interests?
All the Best, Marshall
