So you’re not afraid of posting about your emotional feelings in a tech forum 
… and you shouldn’t because I believe everything you said here is true. See my post I did a few months ago (among others).
I say when things are good, when the people you get in touch with are good people, when amazing progress is done… it should be stated loud and clear.
And @wavetro I also believe that ‘Community’ is a pillar of BJS (and also a future business model); Where while remaining true to its roots, promises and contributors, BJS has not just offered us a place to express ourselves but will also set a new standard for how to build and maintain collaborative projects in the digital.
Agreed. I don’t have the numbers. But just the feeling is strong enough to be 99.9% sure that this makes just a HUGE difference.
