I guess it all really comes down to time frame and how much each individual is willing to put into it. HIVE is great now in-so-far as foundations for long term success go. Without those foundations, there would be little to work for. That being said, I do not mean to imply that everything is great - only the foundation is great IMO. There is still a lot of hard work to do - years of hard work - and that includes sharing and developing ideas, gathering support, making compromises, etc. when moving forward. After all, HIVE is democratic!
