I just look at this thread in a sort of stunned awe.
It wasn't that long ago before we were scrambling to have any community
invovlement at all.
Now we're trying to figure out how to articulate a coherent vision on behalf
of 13,000 people -- a number that continues to grow, by the way, despite the
occasional doubts that we feel about whether we are on the right track.
This is an extremely high-class problem to have. I'm exceedingly grateful
that we continue to be relevant enough to have this kind of conversation.
Oh, and an actual opinion, that may or may not be useful to people:
My favorite gin is Hendrick's.
From their website: "Hendrickʼs is an iconoclastically produced small
batch gin distilled in Ayrshire, Scotland. Our unusual distillation
process combined with our oddly delicious set of infusions yields a
one-of-a-kind gin that is passionately loved by a tiny yet growing handful
of individuals all over the world. No other gin tastes like it because no
other gin is made like it."
A frequently seen advertisement: "Hendrick's. It's not for everybody."
Maybe some see Fedora as elitist. Maybe that's not such a bad thing.
