I've been reflecting a lot on all these recent events . I'd like to share a few thoughts:
- When a site is in Beta, its audience is made of a high proportion of really passionate people who devote time, knowledge and energy to its take off.
- As it becomes more popular, the audience is set to level down a bit and even to attract recognition-starved characters.
- Yet the leaders should stay at the rudder. I believe there is still room for improvement in the current rep mechanism.
