COMMUNICATION - MORE IMPORTANT THAN MOST THINGS PERHAPS

If you find people can't communicate or resist then things will be problematic in future.

They will get some feelings and not know how to handle / mediate themselves.

Mixing with anyone or any group without being able to talk to them directly is also problem and at the end sometimes everything to a movement to be able to talk and practice it (even a mediocre group talking make more improved socially if SOCIALLY that's your aim).

If it's a pay-gate or not for the love of it - RECONSIDER YOUR RELATIONSHIP IMMEDIATELY.

This includes free soft or anyone not interested in talking in a more socially diverse way.

ALL these coders that can't talk... unfortunately are reduced in their effective use.

And without hating it's just a good measure of future work and social enjoyment too (does more things than just 1).

Without comms in a diverse group(s) FAILING is VERY easy..
... in project
.... or personal interactions.

FAIL

We need brave people leaning towards nice thoughts, not closed paranoia unless you really have reasons or can see progress without people (which is usually not useful as the education and mentality change is OFTEN MUCH better than anything else, even the best software loses to that) so if you can BOTH talk and type... then you're a winner...for the movement(s).
