I agree.
if ZOPE gets more and more newbies we will just see a increase in traffic to the main zope mailing list and the more experienced people will leave. most of the newbie questions can, in fact be answered by newbies or people who have been using zope for a few days.
This also gives those people an opportunity to give back, which is a GoodThing(tm) at any (every) level.
whats very worrying is that Andrew says he got personal attacks. I know the Zope community has grown in the past few years. but I thought on a whole the community was mature enough and warm-hearted enough to be above personal attacks. I agree w/ webmaven that he should post these emails publicly so we could see the offenders. We shoulndt tolerate this in our community.
Agreed. If we don't police ourselves from that type of behaviour it will harm the community. I do not know any of the attackers or the person attacked. It may well have been an over-sensitivity too. ??? Either way, those probably aren't bad people (they are Zope users after all <g>) just maybe had a bad day. Maybe a public posting (without further comment) will cause them to think before typing? ____________________________________________________ Tim Cook, President - Free Practice Management, Inc. http://www.FreePM.com Office: (731) 884-4126 ONLINE DEMO: http://www.freepm.org:8080/FreePM
