| Ratings/Long-term Prospects Comments: | Overall -- Nothing replaces the occasional face-to-face discussions, and the aim to bring a community together to support users and improved development is laudable. Long-term -- True community efforts such as these will enhance the user experience, allow users to find the tool right for their needs, provide tool developers with feedback and new ways to advertise the strengths of their tools, and advance discussions of both available and needed resources. Feature Requests -- It may enhance such meetings to push all attendees to describe tools, resources, and useage in terms of the community effort, for the user and the developer, as the main focus of the presentation. |
