Hi Ansgar,

your statement hits the mark! Direct hit! I totally agree with you. Look at my page to see more from "real SAWUBONA people" @ http://sawubonamusicjam.ning.com/profile/AndreasSchwall

Enjoy

Took some seconds to re-think this issue......I think, both pictures (politicians and musicians) should be here. The "balance" and the "collaboration" between both of them is the key to success. ;-)

Moin, Ansgar,
I agree to you in most points, but for me the main point is somehow deeper below.
As I see it, the project appears to be sometimes troubled by the balance between "community basics" and "make the big bang for the press" - to promote the project.
As long as essential parts are missing or not working for the community, I tend to argue about every big event to demonstrate an empty "building lot" to VIP's. As I see it from the videos and TV spots, there are all the old designs and the beauty but dead SL Sawubona Island in the presentations - instead of our awakened community that has proven to be a-LIVE - and competitive - at Stuttgart HQ.
I would recommend to use some of that energy to bring benefits to the community - practically - like short response times on error reports or upload requests or even unanswered questions.
Did you know that - for months now - students from FH Birkenfeld are waiting to take their share in housekeeping of the blog - they simply don't get integrated by the core team.
If these basics were looked after, I could even stand pictures of "boring" politicians and VIP's that most people abroad won't even recognise....
