I agree general communities are better. No need for direct confrontation
in any of the other language groups. The people of interest in those
groups will also read general community sites. I think that we need to
be relatively inclusive of general communities as Squeak is so
multiplatform. *nix is very open source and an easy target, but I
believe we should also inform and educate the Win and Mac camps, too.
I believe that there is no need for being confrontational. We will do
well enough being informational.
