Do you have concrete plans to improve the mutual/two-way communication between the DPL and the rest of the project? Monthly bits from the DPL are already helpful, but they're mostly a one-way communication so far. I don't mean private communication between the DPL and particular teams/developers, but public discussion.
I do not have concrete plans in that direction, no. But I am on IRC a lot, everyone can start (public too) a discussion there... I am also in #debian-dpl, a channel that was used long ago (Zack DPL times). Can imagine having that used more again. Same goes for #debian-meeting.
One idea that came into my mind lately: we could do regular polls about
I personally don't like random polls much. Those I know usually only get answered by a very small subset of people, so you are back at what you have already, just with a different tech below. Few people giving input, except now the few are splitted over one more medium.
the most pressing problems/projects/changes among all project members (after they got raised and discussed on the mailinglists) and the DPL could delegate temporary teams to solve/implement the ones that got the most votes. (I really like the idea of temporary task forces or "fixer teams" that Jonathan Carter brought up in msgid:51b4d63d-1af1-e0ca-6621-a131b7ec3...@debian.org[1].)
Yep, that idea has merit. -- bye, Joerg
