about Mark...

[Peter M. Brigham]

In the absence of any communication and actual information, people always imagine all kinds of things, and this is especially true of anyone seen as a leader. All along Mark has been a presumably extraordinarily capable technician heading up a talented team who are trying to do their best to develop the product we love, and solving problems whose complications we are unaware of -- but without some sense of him as a person and a glimpse of what's going on behind the curtain in Edinburgh it has been easy to think that he and they are ignoring us, or twiddling their thumbs, or something. His presence on this list is obviously welcome and much needed, even if it's only intermittent.

Eventually we pretty much agreed that Mark is probably doing what he is paid for: overseeing the programming team, thinking about what are the most important issues and how to solve them. The latter part probably makes him more involved with the community. I don't know whether Mark sees it this way, but it seems to be a good development.
