how are standards developer centric?
in the very contrary, if this were about developers we would
not need
standards at all. seriously, if it were not for users
interests i
couldcare less about interoperability with other content
managment
systems, allowing the user to access their data, and other
nice things.

all i'd care about is code reusability, which would mean
that most
content managment systems out there would be of no interest
to me and
oscom would serve no purpose.

standards are for the user.

but the developers need to implement them, and therefore we
need
developers as well as users in this group.

greetings, martin.

ok,

fine. oscome's charter is to foster interoperability. Great one and good for users.

we can keep doing these duties as well as opening up users. OSCOM has already done a good job there and keep it up. There are more users than developers. We need to explore ways to get users involved.
