It may be a good idea, before cooker opens again, to take these days to
have some brainstorm.
May you give your opinion on :
- What was wrong in 9.2 development process?
Too many major bugs remained in the betas before rc's were started.
IMHO, betas need to start a little bit earlier with priority given to
the installer, the various means of installing and urpmi. One of the
major problems was mirrors, as most everyone will agreed, and anything
that can be done to improve that situation should be done.
- We though a bit late in the 9.2 developement process to split cooker ml, we
should do it now.
This is an absolute *must*. I believe that Buchan has the right idea
here and would love to see it implemented.
- What could we do to improve 9.3/10.0 development.
Share with the community the broad outline of what Mandrakesoft wishes
to achieve with the next release.
- What should we do to improve the Wiki.
I confess that I haven't used the wiki enough to form an opinion:-)
- Should we have cooker snapshot ISOs?
A single CD with basic functionality such as whats being done now, is
more than enough. Cooker is moving too fast for dialup and anyone with
high speed broadband has many ways to install and update.
- What could we do, as a community, to increase the acceptance of mandrakelinux?
There is plainly not enough done for the corporate user. All I ever hear
from businesses here on the West Canadian coast is when is there going
to be a *usable* Linux desktop. For the most part, everything is basicly
available but polishing is needed and *all* related apps need to work
*out-of-the-box*.
- How to have more contributors?
There *must* be a better way for contributors to gain a klama account.
With the dramatic increase in packages and contributors, poor Lenny must
be snowed under. I *almost* feel guilty bugging him:-)
And anything related to the mandrakelinux distro.
Mandrakesoft has a large and very dedicated community. We all come from
a huge variety of occupations and the pool of talents and skills is
outstanding. It has pleased me greatly to see the increase in dialog
between Mandrakesoft and the community and I can only hope that by
working closer together greater rewards can be had be both sides
