Re: Are you back, Mary?
Well, as of this moment, there is a total of 40 people that have posted there. Of that number, some commented that they weren’t commenting on it, some had off-topic comments/replies (including my sole post), some saw/see a problem, and some did not. Of the number that posted, saying they see/detect (a) problem(s), not all agree(d) on the problem(s), cause(s), or solution(s). So, I don’t know whether it equates to consensus of the community or not… we are unamiously ambiguous. ;p

Re: Are you back, Mary?
Njaah, mhh… I’d say … There is, among some… a consensus that direction is needed. But, I myself… is not really sure… whether or not it’s that much of a problem – an open source project is quite an organic process. Let it grow, let’s see what exciting mutant comes out of it;-)
The range of choices are so vast when it comes to open source CMS’s – there are so many. Some like this, some like that – Textpattern be Textpattern and take on its natural evolution…
Zem is right when he says development of Textpattern is driven by supply, not demand. A bit cynical, but nevertheless right on target and true.
All that said, I wish Dean was still in charge of the development and direction of Textpattern. He alone had a vision he carried out. A vision of something different – a publishing tool that people like me, and plenty others needed.
But people can’t be forced. Passion should be the key. Like you, back on topic; I think it was totally acceptable you left the forums because you felt that was the thing to do. Your choice. Now you feel differently, you’re back – that makes sense. Passion.
