Ever since Ken started working for Canonical, the development of Foresight has been completely been placed on doniphon's shoulders. That is not to say the Ken doesn't do anything, but the real burden of mooking, promoting, etc, etc has been carried by one person for quite some time. Yesterday I had a pretty nice chat with the folks from #foresight-devel about how things are not moving as quickly as they used to before, and it became apparent to me that it all boils down to 2 major factors: * We need more manpower; * We need to start teaching people how to help out (delegating tasks); Sure a bunch of us know how to package some of our pet/favorite applications, but what about the real meat and potatoes that make Foresight's engine move? I think that the following phrase better illustrates my point: < pscott> i've been using foresight a long time and I still don't know where I could lend a hand in the workflow So just like Canonical/Ubuntu holds those "Help me help you" sessions, we need to empower some of the long time users so that they can do whatever it is needed to pick up the slack and prepare the next generation of Foresight maintainers.
