Ghettoization (Score:3, Insightful)

by barries (2159) on 2003.02.01 15:30 (#16625)

Larry has pointed out in the past that he put off getting a newsgroup so that they would not be ghettoized. This gave perlers a legitimate reason to fly the Perl flag on non-perl channels as long as there was no Perl channel.

  Interesting. I guess we should've done the same thing with SVG, have people hang out on Flash lists instead of jumping straight into having our own lists (even though those have several thousand subscribers).
  
  I guess it's too late now and we'll have to turn to other forms of advocacy, such as bothering editors and the such.
