Go find them and convince them to help. Some resources are zero-sum. Want to be on the front page of fp.o? Too bad; there's only so much space. Also: disk space. The key challenge, IMHO, is to provide reasonable access to zero-sum resources to as many projects as possible, while maintaining a focus on the critical path, as the Board has defined it: i.e. the best possible experience for the most popular and well-resourced spin. The definition of "reasonable" will always be the subject of healthy debate. I believe that there *is* a great deal of sensitivity to providing resources for spins. There are continuing plans to raise the profile of the spins page; those plans just haven't all been implemented yet. Look at the design of spins.fp.o; it's fantastic, and we clearly would not see that degree of work if it were throwaway. We just haven't had time to revamp the rest of the site yet to take advantage. --g -- Educational materials should be high-quality, collaborative, and free.
