Re: Tuesday, May 3, 2005
I had the same feelings while listening to Ron. But I also found myself cutting him (and Adam) plenty of slack.
They're not going to succeed if they screw over the contributors to the directory. And they know that. Ron did go out of his way to give his props to the open source work that's already been done, and to say he wants to attract more, and to participate in the open source side (which is already huge) of the podcast community.
That said, you and other directory contributors need to make constructive suggestions to Adam and Ron, and to the rest of us, about how you want to see the directory evolve. Don't just wait for them to declare a license. Say what you think it should be, and why.
My own feeling is that it should become something like a Wikipedia. Adam can play the Jimbo Wales role, and have no less control than he does now.
Or so it seems to me at 0008:30 on a Thursday.
