1 Hi,
2 Tempted by this recent thread, wanna just voice my thoughts.
3 Can't there be some way (GWN, Bug, some general-purpose IRC channel
4 etc.) on which users could at least be informed that work is under way
5 to release 2007.0, with some kind of feedback.
6 Releng could just choose to ignore it at all, but it's a possibility to
7 inform users that work is done (once in a week or two).
8 It's clear nobody can work on a busy/noisy street ;) so the current ways
9 are ok.
10 It's also evident that people who donate there time/force to work
11 for others can't be pushed for anything, just a way to escape creating
12 some tension among users.
13 Somebody might want to know (for a new install) for how long
14 (eventually) he/she will have to wait.
15 A true community must communicate to be a community at all.
16 The errors/"weak points" we make is what makes are go forward :)
17 So nothing wrong with any kind of problems here (don't imply there are
18 any).
19 Time to finish, lets hope i could make myself clear enough.
20 NO flames intended.
21 Rumen
