Others have made some good comments in this thread. I'm really not as
concerned with these specific questions.
I think the deeper problem is that there needs to be (I think) a person
who is clearly identified to lead this effort (and ultimately this group).
I think a lot of times it is hard for contributors to make meaningful
contributions because the group is scattered and there is not really any
one person to ask for a definitive answer on things. Sometimes a user will
get a response back to a question/request/contribution, and sometimes not.
I'm not saying we need one person to do all of the work, or to even be
the expert in every area, but one person to at least know who is responsible
for each part and to track down when things don't get done.
As a group we haven't been very thorough and that has led to some
serious issues with some of our shipped bits at times. To be honest I
think we just need some dedicated leadership. Someone who crosses the
Ts and dots the Is and greases the skids so that it is easy to on-board
and make contributions. Hopefully this would lead to increased contribution
activity and a more vibrant community.
This is sort of what I've been doing w/ CentOS Atomic, and I can do
the same w/ Fedora Atomic -- there's a lot of overlap.
