So, actually... while I think you're overly dramatic in your colorful dismissal of regular users who aren't making noticable contributions back, I mostly agree with you. Metrics on contributors and contributions are probably the best we have -- they're about something I think we all agree to be important, and as a bonus they're probably a lot easier to collect. This is the wrong list to be discussing the details of that, though. So back on topic: It was certainly my personal, original thought that Fedora Workstation would focus mostly on our contributor base. However, a significant portion of that contributor base thinks that it's also important to make something for other people to use, not just be inward facing. That's a completely reasonable (even commendable) position, and I'm happy to support it, even though it isn't exactly what I'd have come up with myself. -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
