Is the comunity manager coming in ?

[jimbop]

I think everyone is reading too much into this. There was probably an opportunity to use BlackSix in the CoD team and his skills qualified him for community manager. Perfect? No, because he doesn't write in English but better than nothing.

Given a choice, no development manager would deliberately hire a manager that doesn't speak both key languages. Either luthier is really daft and spiteful (which I doubt) or circumstances aligned in such a way that he could either have a Russian-only community manager or nothing at all, at least for the time being.
