I *think* we're talking across each other here.
This is what you said:
Dick Hardt's role for perl6 will be to talk to customers with a
significant interest in Perl's stability and growth (e.g. Yahoo,
investment banks, etc.) and forward these concerns to the perl6
community.
That's corporate liaison. That's talking to big perl shops.
Community liaison involves that. It also involves talking to Perl
Mongers. (yes, they can voice concerns themselves, but as previously
explained, I think it's important for them to be considered in a
community liaison role for reasons of parity.) It also involves talking
to vendors, which is the business Alan was talking about yesterday. I'm
asking whether we can enlarge Dick's group's role to cover these extra
two areas.
