The connection between a project's developers and its community is noteworthy and worth discussing. As a developer, how you treat your user base is relevant, and has a real impact on the value of the thing you have produced. We have successful projects whose leaders vary wildly in style, from Linus's approach to kernel development to projects that delegate final code control to community contributors. Talking about the human elements that factor in to technology has merit; talking about the best ways to handle a project's community has merit. It's not "talk[ing] highschool".
