for my part i'm not 'blaming' devs for what they've done. it is more about |
9 |
what's not being done that's the problem... but I don't care if it's the |
10 |
dev's the trustees or even the users. the real problem is, is that none are |
11 |
fixing the problem, and we are debating whether to allow someone who has |
12 |
offered to step up to the plate and fix it. Debates aren't solutions. |

developers are good a programming, writing, or other technical task. |
15 |
|
16 |
This doesn't mean that they are good at management, human resources (e.g. |
17 |
ending conflict), legal (whatever), etc... |
18 |

19 |
sometimes developers may be good at the above, but not always. I think the |
20 |
problem is we have to many developers who aren't as good at the above as they |
21 |
are at programming. we need more balance, people who are capable of taking |
22 |
control and managing... leadership, etc. |

beyond Dan Robbins does anyone have a better idea? that hasn't been tried. |
