Without wanting to pile on, as I know others have concerns about other
parts of this plan, and without wanting to say it's only you doing this,
but: can we all please stop using the word "community", as this sentence
implies, as "people outside the paid 'team' who get to work on things
which are not important enough for the important people to spend their
time on"? Community is not the antonym of "team", nor is it the antonym
of "employee".

The original message was about the world we are working towards. In the
world I'm working towards, every team includes people we pay and people
we don't, on an equal basis, and we are all one community.

Thank you :-)
