As mentioned in this thread several times it is not possible to expect
that contributions from community developers will have an iTeam. We
should be able to integrate work done by community developers "to
scratch their own itch". In this case the work is done in the way
"problem seen - problem fixed - please integrate".

I think we should follow this perception by avoiding the "iTeam" term
where it isn't mandatory. I understood Michaels idea (that I - und now
you - have quoted) in the way that he thinks that in this case where the
development is done already when a community developers asks for QA we
should think about ways to allow a less formal and Q&A oriented
communication between developer and QA or documentation. I think this is
a valid request that deserves some thoughts.

Please let me repeat the restriction I made in my summary: this should
apply to new developers only. If developers would like to continue
contributing we should try to get them used to our a little(!) bit more
formal working style over time.
Ciao,
Mathias
