To me it seems mostly that one of his concerns are that we are having
the vision debate instead of a vision. :-) The other one is the same
olf concern: We have no website full of hype.

The second one should be easy to fix, but I think out of a general
concern for peoples sensibilities, nothing is happening. Too much
talk, not enough hockey.

The first one I have no solution for, except agreeing on a vision.
Which for me seems dead simple, but of course, other don't agree. ;-)
