Point taken. I was interpreting priorities a more as "established mission"
rather than "personal focus".

Most of us know the theory. But all the theory of the world means nothing if

I was not talking about Red Hat's funds, the people they hired, or the work
that those hired people did. Aside from the money issue though
(just because I think it's less relevant) I think you are 100% right — a
product requires producers.

On a separate but related thread, I showed haiku-os.org AND
http://web.archive.org/web/20060615003835/haiku-os.org/learn.php to the
people in our studio this afternoon. We also looked at some of the websites
that I mentioned before (CakePHP was called a Thanksgiving festival,
prototype was dubbed sterile, and codeigniter was "fine". Happy Cog was a
universal favorite.)

The current site got a negative responses on color below the header, on
information density, and typographic hierarchy. People seemed generally
impressed with Kurtis's design for it's simplicity.
