For me, it was the relative closeness of it all. It would be nice to add something to Bugzilla to indicate that a developper has looked at the bug (amthg like "being processed..."). Also, how about having each user entering a bug report their configuration (a la Mandrakeexpert) - surely that would make it easier fo you guys. > > - We though a bit late in the 9.2 developement process to split cooker ml, > we should do it now. Aye > > - What could we do to improve 9.3/10.0 development. A more specific timeline available on Wiki. I.e. a lot of testers found that they did not know when cooker entered a frozen state etc... Why not have some "rounds" e.g. -Suggestion round -Features round -Packages round (in accordance with the Club, of course) etc... so that user know when their opinion will be heard. At the moment, the whole "oh i think this package should be added" or "this feature would be cool" at a RC1 stage is very messy. Providing the users with a time frame (2-3 months) in which they can submit their ideas for features would be good. Also, I love Mandrake and I really would like to help with the development (I think I have a few good ideas - especially regarding drakconnect) but unfortunately my PhD is taking most of my time and I don't have time to write software. It would be nice if a group of testers could be linked to one or more developpers and work with them on the project - that way you increase the number of people working on something (and it makes thing a lot tidyer). > > - What should we do to improve the Wiki. c.f. above > > - Should we have cooker snapshot ISOs? Don't mind since I have broadband (thank you Uni) but it is true that having a time reference to the bugs would be good (e.g. this bug is valid in cooker-20030707 etc...) > > - What could we do, as a community, to increase the acceptance of > mandrakelinux?
