Richard, would you like to help by working with us to draft the kind of policies that make sense from your point of view, you are very welcome. Seriously. I'd rather engage in something constructive rather than this. How you draft something and I'll get it checked, and put it on the website?
Or we collaborate? That's what this community is all about, isn't it?
I contribute to Projects I trust
That does not include your foundation
Aah, at last we are getting somewhere.
So you would not contribute to the Foundation in in order to make it more transparent?
Please list the reasons for you mistrust, and
- We will do our best to either clarify any misconceptions - Correct any inaccuracies - Do what we can do in order to earn your trust
In our haste to provide services to this community, perhaps our communications have not been timely; I wish to correct this.
Richard, please help us to help the community.
Thanks - Patrick
It seems there might be some confusion here. I agree with what Richard said — it's a valid point. The existence of this thread alone highlights the potential trust issues that may exist in the community. I initially raised these concerns in the Bar, where people argued with me at least 3 hours. The moment money is involved, our relationships will inevitably change. And yes, the way you handled things in the past a board member doesn't help much with building trust in my personal opinion. Anyhow, I'm asking these questions here because they haven't been addressed anywhere ever. There's a general lack of communication surrounding the foundation, aside from the fact that it's "here to support the project", yet, the Board doesn't recognize it as the project's official foundation and won't make an official statement on why. If you want to improve things, focus on better communication and avoid taking things personally when tough questions are asked due to a lack of transparency. Just my 2C. -- Br, A.
