We want to provide a shared ecosystem for learning from one another and collaborating on software ideas where folks feel safe doing so, we don't want to hold people's great work hostage.
We'll announce some of these plans soon. Articulating ideas is way harder than having them, but I'm excited to be able to offer some clarity in this respect in the not-too-distant future.
