Thanks CR,
I understand the need to make the best presentation.
In this case, I pushed to get the article done pretty quickly, so what
I'll do next time is open the editing itself up. That way multiple
people can edit the text of the article before it goes live.
And we'll kick it off when the hackfest starts.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

No, that's too brief a response. It will raise questions. :)
For the record, I like the article as-is. Just thought since it was
being published as the official hackfest summary there was more room
for changes (like most of the other content on the site).
I didn't mean to offend anyone. Indeed, I wouldn't have thought how
to
improve the message if I'd not read the initial. So at best I'd have
been building on the work already done.
I'd be interested to know if there's a difference between what I
experienced as a "non-coder" and everyone else who wrote code at and
after the hackfest. I mean when I was talking through user
interaction
with inkscape with Tav and you, Martin, we were doing the same thing
together. When I made the icons, and got feedback from peoplle that
requested them, we were doing the same thing there too. It was doing
stuff together that was enjoyable, not what was done specifically.
I used to code, and group-coding gave me the same thrill that working
in a group does when everyone was doing different things. It's the
common goal that matters. That's really the motivation. So for me
it's
not really useful to write a different article from a different
perspective, since I don't honestly believe it was a different
perspective.
Was just thinking we could take what's already written, and gear it
towards the benefit of the project. I do a lot of this sort of thing
for work, so it's something else I could help out with.
Always at your service,
-C
