I suspect a big part of the issue is expectations. When we formed the new core, we weren't really certain which way we wanted to go, and we spent a lot of time discussing what we should be. We made mistakes, of course: we were exploring uncharted territory. It certainly wasn't as much fun as some of us had hoped it to be. That doesn't mean that there's anything basically wrong in the concept, however. Those of us who remain are in general agreement that we're more or less on the right track. > One thing I found interesting..
