I personally think they need to make a bug zilla type thing that people can commit bugs to and then have a dev blog that people can rss to check for upcoming updates or questions. Then people can comment to the blog post. Keep the existing mailing list but also run a forum powered by the mailing list.. if someone posts a new thread it will also mail to the list. If someone replies by email or on the forum it will br sent to both the list and the forum.. On Oct 25, 2011 11:40 PM, "Jesse Molina" <[email protected]> wrote:
