There are reasons why the community leadership was poor. It had to do with both the culture of the project (being a grass roots project) and then a fear of change. That fear came from lack of vision. Without a vision to to work towards, forces tended to see the best path forward as "No change", since no change is safest. I hope that this new entity can do something good with this data, and use their vision to build something really great!

> a fear of change Very common, in any human community, but pure poison, in a technical one. Insistence on structure, is often derided as “fear of change,” but it’s a very different animal. Sorry to hear about your experience, but I have dealt with similar behavior. In my case, I’m actually a fairly cantankerous, stubborn bastard, and bulled my way through.
