I think a compromise can be found.  Your input is valuable and you
obviously have some well thought opinions on some aspects that we all
care about.  It's just that most of us are prioritizing things
differently.  I thought long and hard myself about whether it was
worth making a bit point-by-point reply to you and I decided it
couldn't be done without hurting feelings which I saw no point in
doing.

So rather than having you Sander go off and do your own thing, I ask
that you give the project some time and redirect your focus into the
bits that will be in common with both PSA's goal of having an end user
site and your own goal of having the dev/contributor site. (The back
end, the taxonomy, the site design, etc.) Work down that path for a
time, and when it doesn't make sense for you to continue to do so,
maybe then we'll be ready to diverge and then you'll have a lot of
creative freedom over that section of content.
