  1. @rblalock Ok, cool. I thought your comment was in reference to this post: http://bit.ly/8gQIBR
  2. @rblalock I disagree with this sentiment wholeheartedly. Calling attention to issues and inviting discussion about them is not harmful.
  3. @stipsan That's definitely a step in the right direction :-)
  4. @stipsan ...stay long enough to change the system?
  5. @stipsan And like I was saying yesterday, it's discouragingly hard to participate. So how can one feel invested enough to...
  6. @stipsan But Joomla is decidedly *not* a democracy. Decisions are being made without us, and often in spite of us.
  7. @stipsan And that makes me more likely to stay, participate, and try to change the system -- because I'm a part of it.
  8. @stipsan This depends. In a democracy, you feel invested because you're a part of what's happening. You vote. You lobby. You organize.
  9. @stipsan Neat! Running through emails and Tweets now.
  10. @stipsan And why should one believe that you can change it when you're stuck all the way out here without even a clear view in?
  11. @stipsan To me it sounds more like public shaming or even worse, an attention grab. Why doesn't the system work and why stay if it doesn't?
  12. @stipsan Retrying what didn't work in the first place is not adapting; it's repeating. Moving on = Adapting = Trying something new = Drupal.
  13. @AmyStephen You could fill an ocean with what I need to learn :-) But at what point is this a system's failure vs an individual's failure?
  14. @stipsan And for the record, no. Persistence in this situation is only cute in romantic comedies. In reality, you learn lessons and move on.
  15. @stipsan Alright. Thread bumped. Now I'm going to shower.
  16. @stipsan And I cringe every time I have to bump my own thread. It just feels.... dirty :-)
  17. @stipsan It's just bad when the community has to break windows with crowbars just to participate and be heard in a project supposedly theirs
  18. @stipsan if (No response || Bad response) { $community_involvement = $community_involvement - 1; }
  19. @stipsan Sounds like: "I understand nobody is laughing at your jokes, but at least they didn't throw pies!!"
  20. @stipsan I tried for 1.6! After not hearing back, bumped my own message. Finally got response. Posted code, as requested but no word since.
