I think the targets for a release should be set much earlier in the process. Especially targets for nr of major bugs in the software to be released. Focus more on a small set of features that should work "perfectly" and others that are nice to have but not critical. This should be clearly linked with how people use mandrake-linux. > - We though a bit late in the 9.2 developement process to split cooker ml, we > should do it now. I don't know, the only thing that can be annoying are the bugreports from bugzilla, but then again, they can trigger a response from a large group, which can lead to a quicker confirmation (or lack thereof). > - What could we do to improve 9.3/10.0 development. be clearer in the goals and criteria for the target. > - What should we do to improve the Wiki. separate development and use-guides > - Should we have cooker snapshot ISOs? would be nice, but maybe another approach would be better: every week, "freeze" cooker so the mirrors can catch up. Make sure a network upgrade can be done without glitches and have a few days of testing of the current status. Fixes can then be added for the next freeze.

Apart from the donation aspect I see no reason to join it. I hope this helps! Simon
