I was hoping something more concrete and detailed, like ideas for helping new potential contributors to get a softer landing. That was the original idea of this thread. Rich Saunders proposed "SMEs", people to intermediate between core developers and users. It may be a good idea, I only wonder how would it be organized in practical day-to-day life. Many issues discussed here could be solved by improving documentation. Especially there should be a page listing tasks suitable for new people. However that does not change the management anyhow, it only helps people find those things easier. So, what does the management mean in practice? Should Lazarus be managed differently from how it is managed now? Juha
