Hi,

Since everybody is on IRC anyway, this won't come as a surprise, but 
I've asked Sussycrow to stop interfering with our community because it 
was clear they didn't understand anything about us, and were not 
prepared to listen. I don't think the google document they produced is 
going to be useful, and I don't think we should spend time on the 
meeting they proposed.

That said, it _is_ clear that we have to tackle some problems that are 
impeding progress. I think these are, in no particular order:

* no sprints since 2019 -- we really need to meet again and plan our 
roadmap
* too much work on things like platform support, dependencies, fixing 
deps, porting to updated deps (like Qt6, sigh) and not enough work on 
the features we want and bugs that need fixing
* not enough money coming in (so I'm really happy to see tiar and emmet 
collaborating on improving our store presence and dev fund)
* dwindling user engagement because 5.3 is so long in getting ready

I think we should, after I come back from my holiday (btw, if you need 
vacation ask me and fill in the calendar) start planning a fundraiser 
campaign to coincide with the 5.3 release, which must be this year.

Halla
