You make some excellent points, but for various reasons you're encountering resistance in this community to using canonizer.com. For me personally I dislike the trans-humanist involvement and the unknowns about the organizer's agenda. And apparently I'm not alone in my reservations. I'll admit, it's rather lame (herd mentality), but until I see a significant number of others willing to make a go of it by creating logins, stating positions and forming camps I won't be persuaded to put effort into canonizer.com.
I kindof feel for ya Brent, you're in the position of convincing this community you have what we need to distill all of the chaos of ideas expressed here on this forum into an organized, coherent body of positions people could support or reject on a rational, objective basis, but we're not convinced it's the solution you seem to think it is.
It's a sales issue, at least for me. But you need to convince enough of us it's worth trying and I don't see that happening.
Perhaps another aspect of the resistance is for it to work people would need to spend more time on canonizer.com than they do here, and perhaps "here" is a comfortable place people know and are familiar with unlike the unknowns of the canonizer.com environment.
I don't know what to tell you that might help you get traction, but I wish you the best of luck in your efforts.
I am beginning to feel like the community is spinning it's wheels and not making progress towards building consensus or valuable features. As to the later only a very very small set of devs do the work so the community must wait for their efforts to be completed before the face of BTS is anything other than talk. We all await the substance of things soon to come, and once it arrives I think we'll see huge enthusiasm and optimism return to the broader community.
I myself am anxious for that, and my enthusiasm has not wained. But I do look forward to more stability.
