You have my vote! 😄 \r\n\r\n\r\nLet me suggest that you open this discussion to the community. It can get better if more people contribute with ideas and views from different perspectives. \r\nI know that this is a \"limited democracy\" and you guys will always have the final saying on all this, but for sure it won't hurt listening to people.\r\n\r\nSpeaking of which I strongly suggest that you guys start doing something about the NETMF community. I mean the repository for NETMF is here but the \"home\" of NETMF doesn't look to be here... It probably lives at the GHI forum... To clarify: I don't think that there is something wrong with the GHI forum. I tip my hat to GHI: they've done a great job with NETMF. Specially in promoting it and make it usable by everyone, from hobbyists to companies (probably more than Microsoft itself...) but they are not _the_ NETMF. Often times when people have general questions with NETMF they go to that forum. Again there is nothing wrong with that, but it does seem awkward. And there is a reason for that...\r\nThere are incredibly smart and valuable people out there that should be brought here. Their knowledge, their contributions, their expertise. I believe that people are willing to contribute just need to feel that that is wanted, is welcomed and it makes a difference.\r\nFor example: all the above that it's being discussed and all that you are trying to accomplish for NETMF, divided in tasks that people could pick and start working on would make it a reality way more fast and sooner than doing it alone. Right now that is not happening and all that talent and potential is being wasted. At least it looks that way to me. \r\n\r\nThis repository should be _the_ NETMF home, but it is not.\r\nCreate a forum for NETMF where discussions can happen (a gitter room? a NETMF forum along with the other community forums in MSDN?). Using issues for keeping a conversation or a dialog with several people is not practical and it doesn't work that well in my opinion.\r\nEngage people. \r\nBring them here. \r\nStart _building_ a true community around NETMF and good things will happen. \r\nLike a famous poster out there says: \"I want to believe\"  😉 "}}
