[Osmf-talk] SWOT Analysis--action requested

Hello I agree that this is a great initiative.

How will this community and the board help those people who want to
contribute to the discussion anonymously? Or, better yet, how can people
contribute in a healthy, open way. I say this because the emotional labour
it takes to negotiate or navigate 'targeting' of differences is often a
deterrent in participation.

I personally will edit in good faith. However, it would be helpful to
address this topic now as more diverse communities may engage knowing that
their voices won't be minimized or run into this type of situation.

As many do not read OSMF mailing list, will you be doing outreach via other
lists and community channels? Allen, I saw you already posted to twitter,
and hope that the outreach continues.

Will the input from the community survey be automatically folded into the
analysis? There were well over 100 responses outlining key topics. This
input including swot issues.


Thank you again


Heather
