Mark and others,
Paul sent out a note yesterday I think that he wanted to be certain that
the "list" was not circulated outside the confines of
motm@onelist.com If
that particular area is accessible ONLY to list members, it seems
reasonable that it would be OK with Paul. However, he made a couple of
good points and I would like to wait for his nod on this one. Also, I had
at least three (apparently the only 3 people in the world without MS Word
<snicker>) ask for text files. So, I will maintain the list in text
format.
The list is supposed to be a single point resource for new people coming to
motm@onelist (and old farts like me that cannot remember) to know what
modules have been discussed, partially planned, dreamed about, etc. without
having to search a year's worth or archives. If I had to search that list
I would get tired of trying to sift all the good data from between the
Stooge comments. Plus, I would like to start putting a few "wish list"
comments in the ""we wish we had" modules section. I love that kind of
idea sharing. And, I think it might be helpful to Paul come features / vs.
price decision time. After all, we don't want a few loud mouths like me
and Barlow being the only ones getting their comment heard. The majority
might NOT want that $15 LED (I need more).
The list was NOT supposed to be a "NEWS, here's what's coming" list. Paul
can make his own announcements public at his site. I agree with Paul.
Although nothing was contained on the list that has not been passed around
on this list by Paul and others, once put in a list format, it somehow
seems more official. So, we need to be careful not to hold the list up as
evidence of things to come. However, when Paul does come out and actually
say, "this is expected on xx-xx date or I will be doing that next and
expect it to be released on xx-xx date, I do plan to update the list so
that we can share realistic expectations. Or when someone says, you know a
"such-and-such" would be cool, I can tack it on the bottom of the "dreaming
about" section.
Hell it's up to you guys. Tell me to shut up if you like. You would not
be the first, and my feelings are not easily bruised. <grin>
Paul, Can the list be posted on the motm onelist area that Mark suggested?
I promise to keep it up-to-date with list comments and change delivery
dates as instructed by you when they... errrr... slip ever so slightly.
Larry, the mad torquer and list maker, Hendry
