how are standards developer centric?
in the very contrary, if this were about developers we would not need
standards at all. seriously, if it were not for users interests i
couldcare less about interoperability with other content managment
systems, allowing the user to access their data, and other nice things.

all i'd care about is code reusability, which would mean that most
content managment systems out there would be of no interest to me and
oscom would serve no purpose.

standards are for the user.

but the developers need to implement them, and therefore we need
developers as well as users in this group.
