But I also think that removing it would do more harm than good at this point. I also think that having a easier to understand channel and posts like this to communicate the roadmap and development of the project would be a nice thing to have (as long as we don't try to use the frontpage for that). So I would suggest checking out the updated version from Levi, and discuss if it still has any controversial stuff. --=20 Ferenc Kov=C3=A1cs @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu --047d7bdc80fc6d391604fa78907b--
