Personally, I still have no idea what the purpose of this thread is.
I get that you're restructuring the team, and don't see how that is a relevant discussion to bring forth to the public.
The team is forever evolving, and have never had to have any change publicly announced before.
Your first and last points in the Q&A come as a random thing to me, and quite a strange thing to address.
Which pushes this post and others into the light.

Have a nice day.  :)

In house issues are, In house, and should remain there to cease further burning/fanning of flames, but if you feel you need to take a stand or confront a situation publicly, then cryptic messages focused toward individuals or groups needs to be left out, and a proper explanation of what you're trying to convey to those 'outside your circle(s)' should be introduced.

Call me a nOOb or whatever, take a guess at how much it'd offend me :), but if you're going to throw your dirty laundry in amongst the clean, then prepare to have it given back

We have positioned ourselves to ensure the continuation of the Simple Machines project against personal advancement and individual gain, ensuring we are protecting the very foundation of what we are, a team driven project.

I wont say good luck, as it isn't needed, the product and support is what we're here for, and for as long as I've known, it has always been 1st class!

Cheers :)

Good luck all! Just remember, cutting off the feet that have walked you miles, may not make the most sense. But hell, that's just my stupid opinion.

I thought SMF was a community Project...

Trekkie101

Team was interchangable with community in this respect.

The context was team changes, it felt appropriate for that to be reflected that the team drive the project.

I wouldn't delve too far in, we are a community project :)

You'll probably notice some of my writing style in that post :P so put it down to my little muckup :P

what the heck is this about?? I certainly hope 2.0 is coming out.  Community, team, whatever... SMF folks have the right to call themselves what they want as far as I am concerned.

Thanks for the clarification Trekkie.

Sure they can call themselves what ever they want. They could also go from free to paid. But not one would like that now would they ;)

I think everyone, be it team members, community, whoever, need to all just join in a big group hug, then move forward to continue providing an awesome software for an awesome community.

I agree with Sabre.
As a non-regular here I only feel fear when reading the announcement.
The extreme vagueness adds to the fear because we fear the unknown.
It's hard to even understand what you're talking about fully.

A lot of it is also that most of us are accustomed to seeing announcements like this just before a big fall (Enron, Lehman Brothers, etc). When they have an announcement saying "Everything's OK!!" it often means the opposite.

The Q&A is really weird... what is this, an April 1st joke preparation? I'd say, a bit early ;)
