Well I was hoping to bait Larry into this discussion but it seems the
Maxis sysadmins are nursing hangovers from the webby awards parties.

No IMO I don't think there is at this point and that is one of the
problems in the community. There are at least 2 camps approaching this
problem in very different ways but there are common problems and in some
cases common solutions. Perhaps improved language could facilitate
better understanding and better understanding could facilitate better
definition of problems which would improve chances of solving them. (if
you say that last part in a Yoda voice it sounds less like rubbish)
