In my opinion we are making a mistake in our community in splitting the users and the developers. There seems to be a thinking that only folks that are on the dev list can actually fix the code, docs etc. Anyone can, this is open source at the Apache Software Foundation. Anyone can join the dev@ list and help there, also you don't need to be on the dev list to submit patches, submit bugs , correct the docs. There is no such thing as "the devs" and "the users". When we ask for things to be fixed, we can fix it ourselves. The problem like in any open source software is that CloudStack as a project does not have developers on staff that can fix things on-demand. We are very much dependent on whoever works on the code to fix things. In JIRA there is a way to vote for issues. So what I suggest is that everyone takes a bit of time, to vote on their top 5 issues, once we have significant amount of votes we can publicize amongst ourselves and see who will have time and knowledge to be able to fix them. -sebastien > > On 25 November 2014 at 08:28, Outback Dingo <outbackdi...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 5:51 PM, <esander...@hushmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Good evening, >>> Now that we have two vendors on here.
