This list/team obviously mixes "developpers", "users" and "admins" and as noted, conveys both a role of "user's forum" and "developper mailing list". The team being quite new, it is quite usual to only have one list that mixes the two as long as the traffic remains reasonable, and eventually split it later on, when it starts to make sense to do so. > I’m not nearly a developer, and have very intermediate skills I would > say. There are many ways in which one can contribute, and coding is certainly only one of them. Some members of the team spend time helping other on the forums, irc, here, and this is crucial. Some other write documentation, wiki pages, white papers or just notes, this is also very usefull. Others contribute just by providing feedback, user experience (good or bad), describing a particular use case which might need a bit more love, reporting bugs or suggesting enhancement, this is fundamental. Also beta testers, by verifying that what we have implemented does indeed solve their need, play an important role in insuring that we release a good product. I am sure this list is not quite exhaustive, but in any case, feel free to jump in, and contribute whatever you can, whether it is a minute or a year, it still counts! > I think that Michaels question was more towards the > Ubuntu/Canonnical side of things though, and not so much as to who is on > the Ubuntu Server Mailing List. On the Canonical side of things, I, as the product manager for Ubuntu Server Edition, am always available and really welcome having exchanges with any user of Ubuntu Server Edition. If you have confidential subjects you'd like to talk about, or are just not sure whether your subject is worth sending to the whole, feel free to bug me, it's my job to be bugged ;) I am known as nijaba on irc (join #ubuntu-server on freenode) and generally answer promptly to emails. Cheers, Nick
