After Jon Matonis' resignation, the new Executive Director, Patrick Murck, acknowledges the need to repair relationship between foundation and community.
Its difficult (impossible?) to repair a relationship with a community that doesn't want you to exist in the first place.
I personally believe the Bitcoin Foundation can, and already has, done things that were hugely important for Bitcoin's current level of success.
But many in this community think anything centralized is a breeding ground for corruption.
So they will waste insane amounts of energy looking for corruption.
Or simply pulling it out of their ass holes, if need be.
Given a situation like that, I don't know how worthwhile it would be to even try. But I suppose its worth a shot.
