It's easier to build trust in people than in a a few 
autumn leaves and a marketing blurb. 

I for one, hate using software by faceless, sometimes 
nameless developers, or by small, anonymous ISVs.

It's good to have a something more than the occasional 
news entry, about WalterCon and BeGeistert, so that 
developers new to Haiku see that we are a indeed a 
community, with a distinct BeOS/Haiku culture, and 
that they're missing out on all the fun!

Partners, partnerships, friends, ecosystem, offspring,
distributions, cross-pollination, related projects, ... ?


BTW, the change from verbs to nouns is interesting.

learn, experience, develop, contribute
  -> 
faq, (download), status, documentation, 
development, (collaborate)

(A mental change from project to product?)

Maybe it should be all nouns: 'downloads' (the -s to 
make it less of a verb) and 'collaboration'.
