Sure, and add to that: Actual proof that the people already involved are doing something now beyond navel-gazing. Vision and courage and whatever the tin man was looking for are wonderful, but what matters more is doing. I'm not Toto. This isn't Kansas. If you want my work then show me your work.



Agreed. 'courage' and 'vision' aren't all that are needed. However, I've talked to enough people over the years to realize when even those are missing. Absent those, you'll never even get close to the doing. Sometimes the 'doing' part hasn't happened enough simply because people are overwhelmed with too many things to do and not enough time. If that's really all that's missing, but the other parts are in place, I'm more inclined to get involved (although still, I rarely do).
