Scott @Morten Your intentions seem thoughtful and genuine. However, it’s getting to sound like we’re talking about the “Church of WordPress.” To put it bluntly, this whole warm and fuzzy WordPress “community” stuff is illogical, vague, and unsustainable, especially for software that’s being pushed and marketed to be used for business sites. There are no defined roles, no defined tasks, and no defined timelines, There’s no defined anything really. The WordPress “community” claim is being used as something to throw at someone who says they’re frustrated with WordPress. It’s like caring enough about your local “community” to go to a city council meeting to raise a stink about broken streetlights, and then for the city council’s response to be blaming you (and your neighbors) for not doing enough to maintain the streetlights (while you’re not at work or spending time with friends and family?). BTW, did you know Squarespace reportedly raised about $200 million at a $1.7 billion valuation? (note: I’m not promoting Squarespace, and do not currently use it)
