Hi,
On the other hand - specific to the dev tasks/questions - I'd love to get more
response and maybe developers would feel more attracted by mails on the
dev-mailing list.
ownCloud claims to be a project for a community and based on a community.
In my eyes this means ownCloud has to take care of managing that community.
I have a similar feeling: to some extend people seek more leadership and more
transparency.
A community manager could help here - any volunteers? ;-)
Honestly I doubt a "community manager" really would help here, also the
word "leadership" kind of scares me, at least if its "set up" ;-)
I often heard people asking for a community manager if well known
problems exist but nobody is solving them. I think we're in a state
where we have quite a core community with very active and smart people.
We can solve the problems we see, so my feeling often is that we have a
lack of entitlement for people to touch things. Aren't we often too much
waiting for Frank to take decisions?
My proposal would be to, instead of installing a community manager, we
should encourage all the core people to be more like Frank and push
decisions and do stuff and, important, communicate it.

Klaas
Maybe we talk about this in Berlin as well.
(Will we code at all? So many topics to talk about .... ;-) )
