Feel free to do it yourself.

You are already on the mailing list, what do you mean?

THAT DO US???
I agree :)
--Learn from the Linux/Open-Source community: Release Early, Release Often. If

There is not an only-one Linux/Open-Source community, each community has
its process, and its choices. And sometimes you must to focus on work.
Release Early, Release Often requires lots of efforts, and if the time
you spend preparing the communication prevents you to keep on coding to
come up to something releasable, you better not release often, release
early if you want to make the wheel start rolling.
--No offense meant, really -- but come ON, guys!!
I can understand your frustration (somehow I feel it too), but sometimes
situations are not so simple, I have plenty of confidence on the people
that are running this community. However, I think that they should ask
for help if there is so much work to do, I've been here for a while (5
months or so), and I haven't seen anyone asking for help or showing
people how can they help to make things goes faster.
On the other hand, if you think that this is so important, I can't see
anything preventing you to ask every week about the progress of Nexenta
and blogging about it. Just do it! :)
Anyway, you have my full confidence and support. But I do really think
that if the contribution path is not made easier, we must be ready to
get more emails than this one :)
Thanks,
