100% agreed! There is the attitude of "get over it" and follow the list - that does NOT work. What does work is exactly that - make the thing useful and people will actually love it. That means local adaption, ability to update and refine. What works wonders is if you can introduce policy changes and improvements through the list. Ie, the list leads rather than follows and gets outdated.
