I hope you have gone through my previous email to the website mailing 
list. Rallying does not work now, and it will not work in the future. I 
hope to have explained why the process adopted has not worked, and at 
the end has generated a decision that some people do not like.

Although being perfectly qualified as a corporate marketing director, I 
do not act as a marketing director within the community. Although being 
trusted by many, I prefer to get consensus for most decisions I take or 
I suggest.

Please understand that working in a cubicle at the very best solution, 
without getting consensus before, does not belong to this community and 
in general to free software communities. You cannot say "once you see it 
you will love it", because volunteers - and here we are all volunteers - 
prefer to have a say in decisions, even if this is just an "ok, you are 
the master here".

Please refrain from going on in the wrong direction. I hope I have 
provided enough hints (and Michael has added some English prose to this 
in another message) for you to understand which might be the road to 
follow to be listened. I have provided five questions which I hope will 
find an answer.

If my English is bad to the point that it is impossible to understand 
what I am writing, please ping me and I am sure we can find the time to 
discuss on the phone.

Ciao, Italo
