[1] That was a rhetorical answer to the question, "Does letting thousands of contributors do what they want have a negative impact on our OS?" It translates more succinctly as "no." And was followed by a suggestion that asking questions about what in the unorchestrated stew that is the Fedora Project caused that result was something worth investigating. > As far as your question about the lack of growth, I was under the > impression that to you our growth didn't matter[2]. My apologies. I don't consider growth for the sake of growth important or part of the Fedora Project's mission. Targeted and sustainable growth where that growth furthers the Fedora Project's mission is what I care about and I don't think that is reflected in download statistics. But my question about growth was sincere. Identifying lack of growth as a problem to me suggests on the surface a marketing issue, not an OS issue so I wanted to know why we were addressing it as an OS problem. There could be reasons it is, I'm not denying that possibility. John -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
