Ok, so it seems Alfresco employees need to be treated special as they
cannot be seen as independent.

How are partner employees different?

Is the mission stated on the website compatible with Alfresco/Partner
employees?

After reading the mission as a customer, I would assume to find people
helping me with the CE here. Does that fit into context ?

Maybe Doug should be asked what Alfresco Inc. thinks about OOTB and how
it would like it to be.
