If by splitting cooker ML you mean putting bug reports in a separate mailing list, by all means have it it. That's a great idea. A bugzilla list and a coooker list sounds like a prime idea. > - What could we do to improve 9.3/10.0 development. Whenever you need bugtesters to start testing for next distro why not put a link on the main page (mandrake.com). Also you should assign (or suggest) specific things for testing like
- KDE packages - Gnome Packages - Apache Packages - Xfree/fontconfig/xfs packages --- etc packages - Installation routine - Upgrade routine - Post installation upgrades - drak tools. and then just have people volunteer to test those. it would make things more streamlined i think and make the work of finding bugs go quicker. > - What should we do to improve the Wiki. wtf is the wiki. i've only seen reference to it on cooker. > - Should we have cooker snapshot ISOs? eh. > - What could we do, as a community, to increase the acceptance of > mandrakelinux? How about fixing them fonts on the main page to make it look better. seriously. I don't even like going to that page anymore because of how horrible it looks, and guess what? There are more just like me! We hate that page, change it. Better fonts. > - How to have more contributors? Well you could tell the contirbuters where they can contribute for starters. I've heard of the wiki but just wtf is it? beats me. And exactly what do you mean by contributors, MDK clubbers? bug hunters? packagers, guys to proofread documentation (i could do this, hell I could write some too given enough time) Again layout exactly what you need somewhere on a page or subpage. if all this in already in the wiki. wtf is it :) > And anything related to the mandrakelinux distro. How 'bout adding sites like mandrake user sites on another page (mandrake community or something) Not like a webring or anything (those are gay). You can just link to them (after checking if they pass muster w/ you guys).
