Why am I not surprised; your solution is to ignore the concerns of the people you're working with and have them do it your way. No compromise is necessary, because everyone who disagrees with you is wrong.
I have to weigh not only *your* concerns but also the concerns of the WWers and *my* concerns. We don't want to end at PG like you ended at DP: with a backlog of several thousand books stuck in the queue that are proofread but cannot be posted because your PPing takes so long. My concerns are to run a website that is among the top 3000 in the US and top 6000 in the world with few people and absolutely no money. I have to manage the complexity of the software and of the underlying work process. Managing complexity means I have to say no to most proposals. If I hadn't said no a thousand times in the past, the PG web site would no longer work nor be maintenable. I'm open to all proposals to simplify and streamline and opposed to all proposals to complicate and spaghettify. If you have a proposal that addresses your concerns without increasing the workload of other people, I'd like to hear it. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
