Amit,
Thank you for your continued support for the Mifos community. You are
correct that the impact of the transition on the community hasn't been
entirely clear - thanks for expressing your concern. Full details are being
worked out but please see my responses inline.

<EC>Yes, this is true. Some distinct and separate audiences we have between
our "developers" and "users". I would expand to say that users is a subset
of implementer community which includes both our MFI users and Specialist
Ecosystem. These Specialists are a key audience and often serve as the
bridge between the user and developer communities.

<EC>As discussed, user feedback and input will be key to the project moving
forward. Likewise, to motivate and meet the needs of existing and new
users, we'll need to deliver upon this feedback in the form of actual new
features.
The process for identifying these new features must be community-driven and
based on user need. I like your idea of a survey initially - that could be a
part of the open feedback gathering process which would then feed into JIRA
and then be followed by a triage/prioritization of features.
Van just created a wiki page listing out existing feature requests. I will
work with Kay, Van and others to draft a brief online survey to make it
easier to capture this information.

<EC>Amit, thus far I've been conversing individually with community users
about the Mifos transition. I was planning on call together a global virtual
meeting of users in the coming weeks to discuss how we can stand united and
move the Mifos project forward.

<EC> Indeed, users, small and large, will only remain a part of the Mifos
community if they see continued development of the product, continued
options for support, and the financial backing and operational
sustainability of the overall project. I'm working with leading individuals
and organizations from the community to execute on a strategy to fund the
core project and empower the community and ecosystem itself to continue
distribution, development, and support of the platform.

<EC> As we enter this next phase of Mifos, it's vital to the success and
long-term sustainability of our community that our users, volunteers, and
specialists remain united globally behind a common vision. The email that
Miguel sent earlier points to the growing group of community members that
are coming together to support the project. As the strategy for this new
community-driven effort becomes more concrete, more details of it will be
shared for the community to provide feedback on.
Let me know where I am not understanding the things.
