Ed,
All sounds good to me.
The project oriented approach is one I've thought about too. It seems
like a good thing to try getting multiple people working together in the
same area of the app. It should allow for taking on bigger projects and
increase the chances of completion even if the time folks have available
is variable. (should be more fun too J )
The priority list that Binny emailed seems like a good starting point
for a Mifos user requested feature list. I hope to get this list up on
the wiki (if the wiki would cooperate) so that areas that need to be
fleshed out can be added to. From there detailed information could flow
into Jira as issues and summary information could flow to mifos.org,
uservoice or a form that gives the Mifos community an easy way to
express their interest and vote.

Van,
In that first bucket of users in the community, that is actually
implementers (including both our MFI user and our Specialist ecosystem).
Our Specialist ecosystem ideally over time will blur the line between
both communities both implementing and supporting Mifos users, capturing
feedback and requirements for the product and ultimately contributing to
development themselves as well. We already have a number of Specialists
that want to begin to work more on development or have created
modules/new functionality that could be incorporated or shared more
openly.
I completely agree with what you're saying about letting developers
choose what they work on. My wording in previous email was wrong as I
was trying to be realistic about only being able to get work done that
we had volunteers for - not necessarily assigning volunteers certain
places.
I would like us to move towards more of a project-based model like
OpenMRS does - we can come up with a stronger set of projects and then
openly advertise these so potential contributors know they have a
well-defined project in which they can add meaningful value. Given the
transition, we can move towards more comprehensive projects but will
have to spend the effort to divide up into workable tasks, etc.
