yes, with shades -
projects can and some do, but wdi could certainly stand to improve it's time to market (mr. dak actually admitted so publicly) even when not throttled by some other means
so your root is true, but i don't think it's inappropriate to ask for a timeline...
it just speaks to the negatives of how early some things get floated combined with a general want for news/status
Fair points. It's not inappropriate to ask, but this was just floated by us in April. I think if more information was able to be given out, it would have been.
It's definitely a negative of how early we hear about things. All I was meaning by "it seems people forget how the board works" LOL. We know we hear about these things at least a year before they are ready to announce it. And sometimes we know even earlier than that.
I do agree they can market it better, but we don't know what goals they have set for themselves. I won't quite call them 'plans', but I'm sure they have "goals" in mind for the project. Not saying D23 is the be all for announcements (it's not but they seem to be realizing they can use it better), things get pulled literally hours before announcement, but there's one next year. Monorails are looming. Logic just says next year. Now if we hear nothing, I'd start asking questions.
I know we're all impatient. I'm not at all defending their glacial pace. We know they can move a lot faster in most cases (#GAZEBOGATE) .... but it just felt like people were wanting more than what's possible to give right now.
I'm actually very impatient (I'm already trying to figure out what they might do even further out past the current stuff; to us it's all "old news") but these things are what they are at this point.
I also think some of it is that people are jaded (rightfully so; I am towards some things) and don't seem to believe monorails are actually in the plans (I think I probably hit the nail on the head with this; having 'dates' means it's real).
I mean, most of what gets announced at D23 is "old news" to us, lol.
(I know you agree, we're agreeing, just giving one of my long winded posts lol)
