I think that Jane Wells was a bit dismissive toward the community in being so dismissive of you. Jeff, anyone with your level of knowledge and interest shouldn't be discouraged with bureaucratic compartmentalization corporate-speak the way she seemed to be doing with you, at least the way I heard it on that last podcast. Now, in terms of the having all the punters show up and whine about their personal laundry list of WordPress issues, that probably would screw up the flow of the meeting. So I understand the basic message that Jane Wells said--but not the way she said it where you seem to have taken it as a kind of personal rebuke. Someone with their pulse on the community like you should be given carte blanche to speak up--or they should take the chat private.
