Amit,
Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Preparing a survey sounds like a great idea.
The idea of forming a non-profit around Mifos is a good idea and is
something that Ed has been investigating.

Subject: Re: [Mifos-users] [Mifos-developer] Whats after Maya G?
Hello to All,
We have undergone a long discussion on "Whats after Maya G?".After that
I found some conclusions that there is 1. Developers community 2. User
community
presently, Mifos looks like a well developing application which having a
sufficient users worldwide.Developing an application is a continuous
process which includes to solve problems and also to made application as
future compatible.How to attract user?off-course with features (what
user can see at front end). I appreciate Binny's survey list which is
based on present demand as binny is associated directly to the users.To
hold the users it is necessary to add most required features in
Mifos.Also I would like to add here, a support too.
I suggest to prepare a survey form of both and spread to all for making
a prioritization decision.
I am surprised that no one initiated a step how to hold the present
users. A cloud and other users.What they required to do after November??
All the things sounds good with the user, please initiate a step.
This is a crucial time for concentrating how to hold users, my
suggestion is to communicate with the users and try to filled out there
requirement. As far as I know there are few Big MFIs which uses MIfos.If
we hold them they becomes fruit full to you.( Off-course it is matter of
sustainable project).
Another Idea comes from this thread:
Try to put all users and developers in a one format worldwide as the
member of Non Profit Organisation they will contribute with there share
for developing the Mifos.Resulting the efforts can holds the user
because of their personal interest.
Let me know where I am not understanding the things.
Regards

Van,
Let me know when you've got that page up on the wiki. Once it's up we
can start a separate thread for open feedback/feature requests and then
guide people to document it there on the wiki and as you said put it in
some more formal tool over time.
A lot of the users and implementers I interact with have a feedback
requests and I will direct it through these channels.

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.
