Too late. You made one ;)

I don't think explaining Envolution's features in detail should be a
problem. In order to attract new developers and increase our install
base people will have to know these things. This is very evident in our
own forums. There are numerous posts which address Envolutions features
quite frequently. For example does Envolution work with module "A" or
module "B", etc.

Had PostNuke published correct information and not marginalized a
significant portion of it's community then we wouldn't be here right now
and Max, Brandon, Brian, and I would not have created Envolution in the
first place. If we don't publish honest and accurate information about
own community and the code we publish then we will end up just like
PostNuke.

And I am not suggesting we compare CMS's. That is exactly why I spelled
out in my post that the title of the thread should have been Envolution
vs FUD instead of Envolution vs PostNuke. Because this is nothing about
PostNuke. It's about specific people posting inaccurate and misleading
information which results in people not wanting to try Envolution! And
that my friend should be unacceptable to everyone participating in the
Envolution community.

Exactly. That is what I am proposing. Accurate and honest information to
account for the FUD and misinformation being published by others.

They certainly can IF they have accurate and honest information to work
with. But John Q.Public might not even try Envolution based on some of
the false things being reported by certain people.

No one is comparing. As for stopping this thread you are welcome to not
reply to it at any time. There was no flaming being done and there were
no insults or disrespect shown to anyone. So if I have somehow offended
you for bringing up a touchy subject I am truely sorry. But I don't
think ignoring serious issues is a very good way to handle anything.

This is a serious issue which involves the entire viability of
Envolution as a project and that is something that I personally take
very serious.
