Good Thread on Open Font Library

There is a good comment by Raph Levien about what he thinks a good font site would look like. I totally agree, however I feel that he has mistaken the intent of my comments and the intent of a hopeful Open Font Library community (a nonexistent community becuase the project has not really commenced yet). The goal and the type of community is yet to be made up and is hard to define through intentionality alone (ie, a site for professional quality designers working commercially, or some specific class of user/artist). I have found that the type and intention of community is usually built around the type of people that contribute to a project. Thus, the number one way to make a community the way you would like it is to pick up a shovel and start digging. If it is valuable to others they will pick up a shovel as well, and if not, then maybe the project is not so valuable.
