Over the past couple months there has been a growing worry of mine that we are loosing some momentum/cohesiveness as a team. As a metric, if you look at the dev mailing list, the traffic for the past three months has been very low (September was awful). What finally spurred me to send this message was the fact that I sent an email [1] on October 13th, asking for some help reviewing a major change Matt and I had been working on and haven't gotten a single response. I know it's not a sexy change but it's something that people thought was a good idea when it was proposed a while back. What I don't know is if the lack of response is because people are too busy, they don't care or they don't support the change but don't want to say that. The third option would concern me the most since we should feel free to provide feedback, both positive and negative.
My suspicion is that people are just swamped at their day jobs and Rave has taken back (maybe far back) seat to normal life which is understandable. With that knowledge though, as a PMC we should probably spend some time really coming up with a priority list of items we agree need to get done and bubble those to the top of the queue over the next few months. Roadmap anyone? Thoughts? Chris [1] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/rave-dev/201210.mbox/%3CCAFNO4Hh5LH37p9dD9P=W3MGQ=hecq-d4+lvqmstpihddfha...@mail.gmail.com%3E
