| We need to have more substantive discussions on our dev@ list especially
about our growing TODO list and how we plan to address them.

Is this the same idea as making disclosure of the roadmap that community is
working towards as well as being more transparent about what is going on?
If so I'm a super +1.

I see an important thing to do is to:

Adopt the apache way and build up an opened community culture from there.

One thing we can do better is to firstly make code changes more transparent
to the public. For example, for the reason of canceling dataksteches java
RC1, I can't find the detail of what bug causing It and what is fixed.
Instead I can just look into the PR but yet don't know the story which you
seems to know what's going on internally.

A concrete action we can do:
1. Refer to an issue whether it's GitHub issue or JIRA and make a
disclosure for code changes.
2. For releases, let people know what has been fixed/added. A typical way
to do it is via release notes[1]. HTML or text version can be generated by
JIRA w/ a button of click if we've issue properly tracked on it.

Let me know if I just failed to locate what you've already done :)
