of August. With Inkscape on the other hand, developers and users were always helpful and friendly. Just wanted to thank everyone for that!
The community is something I think the developer should be most proud of but it needs to be worked at and we all need to let people know if they aren't being polite. It is difficult to point out flaws or have disagreements without letting it become personal or rude and ending up discouraging developers or creating a bad buzz around the project (which could destroy our word of mouth marketing). I think we all recognise it is its own reward not to have to flame and argue over everything.
/me shuts up before someone flames me for not being suitably diplomatic in some other discussion ;)
Hopefully Michael will loudly recommend others get invovled with Inkscape and if there is ever another Google summer of code we might get a bigger slice of the pie.
