I just look at this thread in a sort of stunned awe.
It wasn't that long ago before we were scrambling to have any community
invovlement at all.
Now we're trying to figure out how to articulate a coherent vision on
behalf of 13,000 people -- a number that continues to grow, by the way,
despite the occasional doubts that we feel about whether we are on the
right track.
This is an extremely high-class problem to have. I'm exceedingly grateful
that we continue to be relevant enough to have this kind of conversation.
