There's also this attitude, with very vocal proponents, that in order to use Lisp, you must use Emacs and SLIME, and that's spectacularly unhelpful.

nyef: I am also working very hard to make it more accessible to improve things further. What I do is not enough, I know. But I think the current infrastructure makes it way too hard for people to dive in and contribute.

nyef
Mmm. And it's not necessarily the technical infrastructure that's the barrier, but the social infrastructure.
16:11:45
nyef
Yes, both. But the technical infrastructure is a mere matter of software. The social infrastructure requires social engineering.

Mmm. I'm not necessarily that experienced in working in a group either, but I try to give the social aspects some consideration.

A large aspect of social engineering seems to be making it easier to do the right thing than to do the wrong thing.
