Help Write the Description | This LD Group and what I want to do with it.

Well Im not the strongest of writers, but I tried to make the description of this group reflect the desire for many of us to help out with Drupal. This is not a group for the greedy, it is a group for the people who want to find mutual goals that contribute to the code, documentation and environment of Drupal. I want to attract people with and without disabilities to get things done. I want to find out what people can and can not do and put them in a situation that they can succeed at. I do not want the attitude that if you have an idea then do it, but instead have an attitude that if you have an idea then how can we get it done. Lets work together to get it done. I want a group that can help each other out. Tolerance is our number one goal. We are not here for Group therapy, we are here to work and have fun. We need people who are active in Drupal to be able to fit individual with task. We need to set our own goals and to meet the overall goals of Drupal.

My greatest problem within the Drupal community is that there is no tolerance for people who can not do it all. There are members of this community that respond hostile towards me because I can come up with the idea, I can come up with how to do it, I could do it, but I am not given what I need to do it. When you present them with an idea they will basically tell you to shove it. They have no sense of community, there is no discussion of the idea, how it fits into the current Drupal idea, or what the project will entail. They simply shoot me down, and tell me to go do it. I did this with my first few ideas, and after spending a day or more with the proposal, people told me it was no good. So I stopped. In both cases this happened I found that my ideas where implemented even after I was told off. I dont care that they were my ideas, I dont want or seek credit. I just want to do what I love, program!

I am sick of it, and I want a safe place to go to. Hence right now my biggest project is this group. I seem to find myself in allot of community building situations. I find it fun, but I do have a big itch to get down in the dirt and program. I am a completely fed up with the politics, I just want it done.

I do not want to wait any longer for big ego's to get in the way of my ideas. I want to work on my ideas. I want to talk about my ideas, how I plan on achieving them. I want to know if my idea is valid, I want to have a dialog about my idea, and I want to be assured that my idea will be of value. I feel uncomfortable jumping in. Currently I do not know what is going to be in version 7. I am pretty unaware of the project and even when I look at version 6 I am often overwhelmed by the scale of the API. I don't want to do something already done, and I want to do something worth wild.

I would think of a writer as someone who can put there ideas into words with allot less drafts then I need to. I am sure you will see me edit this as time goes by to make my
