Hi all, Lacking discussion on the mailing list is indeed the biggest problem of IoTDB now.
Thanks for all your advices. I think Chris's "What happened last week" weekly mail is a good way to let the community know where IoTDB is going for current situation... I can shoulder that. But, it is not the final solution... Let every committer form the habit to show their ideas on the mailing list is the target... Obviously we need time to achieve that... And, we can see that some contributors submitted many JIRA issues, but these issues lack the detailed context. It is also a problem. Hope we can solve these problems ASAP.
