I overly agree with the opinions presented by the two Thorsten's ! Aside from that I'd like to point out that I'm having mixed feelings concerning the prominent use of the term "community". According to my experience, those who are making the most frequent use of this term are either contributing just feature requests or, if they do _any_ real work, they are verbosely advertizing no "community" projects but instead just their private sand castles. What's a community ? I might be wrong, but at least according to my understanding a community is a group which is a) collaborating (important !) towards b) a comon goal. Now count the number of those who are really contributing to a _common_ effort and compare that to how affine these people are to the term "community" ....
