A few random comments: -- No doubt about it, many normal humans percieve it to be difficult to really dive into OS groups either due to lack of professional-looking documentation, getting used to using mailing lists, not feeling they're geeky enough to be worthy, whatever. Overall we're still spotty at presenting a really great user experience for the average human. Much better than even a year ago though!
