Believe me, Jacqueline has tried tried this on numerous occasions, and 
in different formats (Issuezilla, web page - e.g. 
http://marketing.openoffice.org/todos.html, etc). There have also been 
appeals on the lists for specific urgently needed help - e.g. providing 
help with RFEs; cleaning up the 'new features' data from developers. 
Sometimes we're lucky; most times the response is pretty poor. At the 
end of the day, community members are volunteers - if they happen to 
spot  something and it appeals to them and they have the time available, 
they may pick it up.

 I know, things are moving, but they are moving slowly and from my
 point of view, still not enough "open sourced" ...
 

You are right. It's patchy across the community. But let's try an 
experiment.

The Product Flyer is a sheet of A3 printed double sided landscape and 
folded down the middle. That gives a 4 page A4 sized booklet. The Flyer 
is a selling tool, lots of pictures, features and benefits, brand values.

The Product Specification is a sheet of A4 printed double sided 
portrait. The Spec lists in some detail what OpenOffice.org actually is, 
and what's new in 2.0. The Spec can either be used by itself, or as an 
insert within the Flyer.

I've created an issue 47476 to hold a straw man for the Version 2.0 
Product Spec.
