So just back to the topic can I interpret you answer in that way

The project lead? There is no such person.

Everybody who has responded to this thread has reiterated that this
*is* an important feature.
for the strategic product planing. It will not be part of the next
upcoming releases and it's not on the road map??
The road map is made up of what committers have promised to deliver.
Without commitment, a feature won't make it into a release.
I would suggest project lead(s) (was a typo, my fault) are those persons
who sit in the PO Meeting. They decide what's in the upcoming release(s)
and from my point of view they also die most planing for the roadmap.
Even if in general the roadmap consist of the features that where
delivered by the commiters, there should always be a group of persons
who observe the compete system and have a look at those basic features
that are necessary for the system. And they should bring them to list,
when they seems to get lost. For a person outside of the PO group/those
who attend that meeting it's difficult to see this shortfalls of the
software.
(I've heard about, that the PO will no longer exists so this is just a
place-holder for what comes next)
And may I ask what you would do with an iTunes U/Youtube distribution
service when you couldn't edit metadata? Nobody would use it becuase he
couldn't be sure that he will get a 100% result and that's what you need
at these distribution channels. If not, Nelson Muntz will gibe you a
"HA-HA University XY has typos in iTunes U because it uses Matterhorn" ;-)
Bad news for adopters.
But good news for developers and institutions that want to get
involved in making Matterhorn what *they* need it to be!
Immer positiv ;)
Sure but if this feature would be easy to develop, we would have it. So
you need developers who knew what to do or a lot of money to spend it
for developer time so that they can comprehend the system. So I would
imagin that's to hard for most of us to understand.
I would like to be immer positiv, but I have the strong opinion, that we
miss important features that are successors for the future of Matterhorn.
Don't Panic
