He's just warning you not to ignore the existing community in your |
| 60 |
attempt to create a new community project. It is good advice; take it |
| 61 |
that way instead of responding to it as negative criticism. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
I think it might be a tough sell to get existing gamerlay contributors |
| 64 |
to switch to this new "official" contribution process. If you started |
| 65 |
working within that community, you may have better luck persuading |
| 66 |
people to get on board. If you have no interest in doing that, just be |
| 67 |
aware that you are excluding a significant base of contributors. |
