It is too vague.
We will use use many techniques to force the pace ... but that is
about local strategies.
Positive does not mean 'sweep all the problems under the carpet as the
right-wing media does'. Direct confrontation of problems invariably
attracts attention.  Newbies need motivation and people who do not
seem to be confronting problems would be seen in bad light. 'M$'
provokes people ... that is good minimalist communication. If posters
are as flat as a pancake then people will not bother. Corporate
sponsored FOSS has its problems of vanishing discourse.
Anyway Satabdi's mail is off target.


Please comment on my guidelines in my last reply in this thread.
