I think (at least) one thing has to be added, which is some[one| people] making a public report containing a result of the discussions on how to improve the next Mandrake and what went wrong during the development of the last Mandrake. Of course, people should be able to respond/discuss the report as well, so it can be improved during development of 9.2. Perhaps integration in the Wiki would be nice. Jochem
