There is place for communication in Gentoo. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Communication takes time to master, to get the actual message across; |
| 24 |
paragraphs without "I ..." constructs and hidden messages are effective. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Communication takes thought about how text is read by the receiver; |
| 27 |
similarly, doing something is more effective than commanding something. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Communication takes the reader to AGF[1], ATPOABB[2], ...; messages are |
| 30 |
rarely perfect, often they are interpreted in a different way[3]. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Communication takes 2 sides; what you [positive] and [negative], tell |
| 33 |
people more about what you [positive] to focus on what needs focus. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Consider that you can swap "communication" with "transparency"... :) |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
So; what are rich0, calchan, ... communicating about here and why? |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
The very first words are about "making ComRel more transparant"; |
| 40 |
thinking that through, it takes effort for an outsider to join a |
| 41 |
team seeming to be solid where transparency is met with disagreement. |
