of marketing could kill Free Software, I could swear it.


Perhaps so, but IMO the vast majority of our users and potential users have
no interest in "community" or "meaning" or even "fun" -- they just want a
great product that does what they want or need to do, and therefore they
want facts.

Obviously we see the world of software quite differently. (This may well be
a generational thing, at least partly.) Your emphasis is on the production
side; my interest and emphasis is on the consumption (user) side.
