Recently on SaDeveloper.net there
was a post which started out very positively and
self-congratulatory but quickly went south from there, exposing the fact that
there are many community members that are not happy with the current state of
the local community as represented by SaDeveloper.net.
I think it would be accurate to
say that most of the positive statements were coming from the Cape Town side and most of the critical ones were from
Gauteng
members of the community.
This issue is a very emotional
one for people and unfortunately the thread degenerated into personal attacks
and was heavily moderated, which had to be done, but also took the fire out of
the heart of the debate.
What I would like to do is urge
those who have an opinion on the current state of SaDeveloper.net and the community at
large to return to that thread and post your thoughts on where we are, what we
are doing right, wrong, and where we need to make changes because whilst I am
well aware that you can’t please everyone all of the time, at the moment there
seems to be only one demographic that is happy.
So go ahead, grab your soapbox
and make a stand. If you don’t, you have no right to criticize
the local community after this. I would prefer you post in person, but if you
have things to say that you feel would be better made anonymously (no personal
attacks please!), please post it as a comment to this blog. I will delete the
comment and paste the contents to the thread on your behalf.
Things it would be nice to
know:
-
-
-
Are you happy with the way
the forums are run?
-
Are you happy with the choice
of leads and do you feel they are doing the right job and their jobs
right?
-
Why does toast always fall
butter side down?
-
What changes could be made
that would make you feel more positive about
SaDeveloper.net and get you to want to be
more involved?
