I love this direction -- helping other communities grow in spaces that have their best interests at heart is a great, great goal.

Have you all thought about what could be done to minimize the "friction" of getting non-technical communities up and running? Making it as approachable as possible seems difficult, but so worthwhile.

Similarly to other technologies like, say, Kubernetes, I think there's a period of natural complexity before better tooling and abstractions are built on top.

I think we will naturally have a "one click solution" where the hosting and open source and everything in-between is kind of abstracted away, but in terms of order of operations we're trying to first get the fundamentals and underlying metal to be sound before trying to layer simplicity over top.

Thanks for explaining -- that makes a lot of sense.
