I didn't say anything about public sandboxes. The point is that I believe that they see themselves as separate from the community, and maybe the community sees them the same way. Is that what IBM consciously wants to do? If it is, I wouldn't understand why.

'Servicing and not willing to be serviced holds true'. It's not about sandboxes, that's only one very small aspect of community.

Whatever they are working on, until it becomes interesting for me - doesn't interest me. The CICS thing gave me pause, and the $100 million got everyone's attention.

In the larger world, that SCO's stuff is getting tossed is good news, and I congratulate IBM. But does the sakoku policy work in SecondLife? Time will tell, but it's not giving me warm fuzzies. Of course, I'm not in the loop - but I'm betting a lot of people aren't in the loop.
