I agree that it would be good to focus, for now, primarily on the things that we can first accomplish.

I believe there will be time to address all the related and supporting issues once we have some momentum. I don't think we want to let this opportunity get mired in the kind of endless debates that only need to happen because we seemingly don't want to agree that we're all in this together.

Perhaps if we put our heads together long enough to create something that benefits all of us, even if not directly focused on our own specific needs, we'll all see that more clearly.

I've stayed away from this discussion in part because our own sites deal with some things that are not understood easily by everyone, and which many people do get quite squicked about. So I don't want to move the focus from where I think it needs to be, for now, onto making sure that my own needs, and the needs of my more narrow community, are met.

For now, I'm more interested in seeing that we simply accomplish something together here, and that we come away knowing that, together, we have much more power than if we work against each other.
