Mostly I think people see the development as a developers arena and are afraid to poke their nose in where they feel it does not belong. me on the other hand even though I do not understand half of what gets talked about do know and understand the importance of being there, of letting them know what I would like to see, or letting them know I appreciate what they are doing.

Feedback both positive and negative or even neutral is needed to let people know they are traveling in the right or wrong direction. I hope more non-tech people start to ask questions or to leave comments to let the developers know what they think or what they would like to see in the way of tools to be developed.
