Wait, this isn't a "flame war"
Lazarus does "administration" and the other stuff, but I think there's a
point where all this stuff may get "slower", if you get the idea.
Metaphor: The same way there's a limit to a person running speed,
and a car can surpass that limit, the same way,
a foundation may surpass a community...
> incorporate or create a legal organization it will get totally complex.
I understand and Im agree with that, but still, if the foundation is well
strutured, may get more benefits over the difficulties of the complexity.
Of course, a foudation may be difficult thing to start.
> does that mean?
Maybe I should rephrase that, forums are updated, the website is fine,
but many guys prefer to reply or ask into the mailing list.
The relation to the foundation, is that maybe a foundation may coordinate
the developers to promote the website, the forums, the wiki page,
and the mailing list in way that developers may use each tool better.
> So why don't you have it in the forums?
Because I have seen that previous questions of mine,
and question from other guys, didn't get a reply...
This is not the webmasters fault, this is a thing in the Lazarus community.

I don't mean that crafting a compiler is a trivial task !!!
Actually, I have make some compiler stuff, I know its DIFFICULT,
but since Lazarus uses the compiler plus other stuff, well,
it adds complexity to that...
> it.
Im not taking of selling Lazarus, Im talking about providing more
resources to the project (time, developers, tools).
Im interested in Lazarus both as a hobbie and work.
In my case, I use programming tools, because Im a programmer,
I pay the rent from that ;-)
> But most of the projects you mention don't even have full time developers.
They do. Maybe just 2 or 3, that help coordinate the work of volunteers...
(Confirmed in the websites, but dont have the info right now)

Sorry, Im just trying to start the idea, I dont have all the info by
myself right now ;-)
That's why also post this on the mailing list...
Thanks for your critics.
I hope my answers help the project, even if there's not a foundation ;-)
