   synchronet has evolved into having an ideal community just by having it open.   
      
   it's because rob is a good project manager.  he takes people's feedback.   
   some people have great ideas. some people are great at testing and finding    
   issues.  some people are good programmers.  some people are only good at    
   fixing other people's code.   these reasons are why it has worked out so well    
   for so long.   
      
   ... How come this jacket they gave me doesn't have sleeves?
