Tony,

One nice thing about the community that Laura mentioned is that it is
supportive of multiple points of view.

That said, Google's mission statement doesn't even mention search.

There is no need for Sugar to run Sugar apps, at least in theory (in
practice i have not had much luck applying "Sebastian's techniques). But
the Sugar Desktop is central to how those apps are used in support of our
mission.

The SFC never developed the instruments to allow us to directly support our
"labs" financially, one of the long-standing struggles we have had. But we
can and do still provide other mechanisms of support. (again i refer to the
community that Laura mentioned and the body of work it produces.)
