6 | This is an open project. The solution to the problems you raise is
7 | incredibly simple: Contribute on a regular basis, or find other
8 | people who will do so.

10 Pay attention to the original email. One of the problems Christel
11 mentioned was that contributions were being deliberately distorted by
12 the GWN editors. Finding more contributors won't help with that
13 problem; only replacing or fixing the editors will.
14
15 | Writing hugely demotivating emails, scaring away existing
16 | contributors, and wasting the council's time will not help at all.

18 How motivating would you say it is to have your words twisted by the
19 GWN staff when you do try to contribute? How motivating would you say
20 it is to watch people try to brush genuine problems under the carpet
21 and attack anyone who points them out?
