In any FOSS community, the community is made of the developpers. The one who codes is the one who calls the shots. The rest, albeit valuable sometimes, has no other way than respecting the developpers' decisions or try to convince them they are wrong. There is hence no question of separating the community and the developpers. I thought this precision is useful, especially if we were going to make yet another thread on how bad the OOo project is to some people.
I don't agree at all that this should be the case in OOo. Maybe this is "normal" in open source projects, but I couldn't care less about what's normal in other open source projects. Our competitor is Microsoft, and I'm very shure that the developers of MS Office don't make the decisions of what way the program should evolve. Do you think the new palette design of the user interface of MS Office 12 was a developer decision? Sure it wasn't - it was a pure marketing decision.
I have been doubtful about the realism of the goals in the Marketing Project, but now I'm beginning to feel really worried...
