User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/Community Contract for the New Fandom Platform/@comment-8072-20190627235020

Hi Will & Fandom Team:

"If a decision is not both a win for us AND a win for the most users possible, it is likely not worth making. We will take a community first approach, knowing that what leads to happy and healthy communities is ultimately what makes the entire platform more successful."

"Reach out to the community when input is required. We are building this platform for you and for future generations of fans. While we have a very solid understanding of what you want and need for most of the features, some things will require input directly from our editors."

Do not these two statements slightly conflict? It's a "community first approach" but you're going to only "reach out" "when input is required"?

Why not involve community members with every decision? Assemble a board, if you will, of veteran and newbie users to consult throughout the process, in addition to "reaching out"?
