Hi Risto, BUGS: I think the TRAC is for everybody, not just high-level hackers. I reported totally cosmetic bugs in the tracker, like "there is a spelling mistake in Assassin's package desctiption" or "xterm is missing an icon" and they got fixed simply and quickly. Nobody complains. It works really smoothly for simple bugs.
DISTROS: My understanding is that Om would like nothing more than community developpers take charge of the applications and distributions, so that they can focus on hardware, kernel and framewiork. But it's an egg and chicken think, it can' happen overnight. NEXT STEP: As a community member, I feel that Om showing us total respect. Developpers, managers, and other all read and write to the lists. Of course it there is room for improvement, I could name few Om staff who I hope are taking intensive evening English classes (but hey, many community members are not writing like Shackspeare either !). On the whole, it's just that they are understaffed and spread very thin: how many people would a company need to totally rock from hardware design to community management, including production, sales, kernel development, middleware development, applications development, interface, packaging and distribution ? As for blog posts: There is Mickey's blog on the Planet, but indeed it would be nice to read from Sean more often. The Weekly Engineering Report should be added to the planet too. I will try to issue a community update this week end.
