There are also two levels of discussion. 1. Is the community fragmented? I think not and gave my reasons before. 2. Are we using good tools to collaborate? I think the tolls where ok until recently and now it is a phase of changes. Carnë have been talking about migrating the package/module development and bug/feature tracking for a while already. I tihnk if we want to do this effectively we need a task force (a small group of people) that know what they are talking about (this rules e out! :D) and implement the changes using their criteria. -- M.
