I disagree. A typical announcement says WHO does WHAT and HOW, maybe even WHY in succinct, clear language. However, this post grinds my gears in all the wrong ways. The proper way to do what that guy set out to do would've been to write an RFC to some mailing list (or some Rust forum/social channel) and collectively build up a group. But announcing a group before the group's actually been formed is putting the cart before the horse. Don't get me wrong, I think it's laudable that someone started this effort, but it seems to me that it's being done/communicated in a fairly naive/inexperienced fashion. I'm sure they'll learn as they go along, and I probably am being way to harsh on people who actually are trying to do something good for the community.

I think that's really fair feedback FWIW.

I don't think this is a thing in Rust, but there is a user forum/ subreddit.

Yeah I think that's all I'm saying. Maybe this is the wrong venue, but I don't think your criticism was necessary or constructive in totality - some of it is, some of it isn't. I'm sure that much of this feedback will be incorporated, based on what I'm seeing from the author.

I appreciate the discussion here.

The reason why the GitHub organization was created BEFORE anything else was because of a tweet. I originally tweeted that I created the organization, and wanted to see if people were interested in using it (regardless of ownership). It unexpectedly blew up, and with encouragement from replies/DMs, I decided to add least plant a flag.

> WHO

This needs to be better clarified, I agree. This is a small section on this: https://github.com/rust-cloud-native/core#owners-and-members

> WHAT

This could be clearer as well. Perhaps, this section should indicate that we want to be a blank canvas or sandbox for issue/discussion filers to determine course: https://github.com/rust-cloud-native/core#what-are-the-goals...
