I think it is a fine way to BUILD a community - but it's building a community that matches a certain demographic. It's like marketing features, if your features can be handled for a particular demographic then that's the community you build. I think what you're saying is "it's not a very good way to build a community of EVERYONE" but it is not obvious to me that: 1. we want everyone 2. we can come up with a way to target everyone. -sv -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
