Debian's experience appears to support the earlier experience of others: that large groups differ fundamentally in character from small groups; that human society does not scale, even when we wish that it might. Such immutable facts of human nature are not something any DPL can alter. > Will all Debian devs ever be able to encourage and > build each other up ... ? Most do so now, in my experience. However, this does not invalidate your observation with regard to the main Debian mailing lists. You are right. As a thought experiment, imagine debian-devel, if Debian had ten times the number of Developers it has today, if Debian were generally ten times the size.
