hmm - good point - but don't we loose some people on the ml because of 
too technical/dev specific things? - I have no idea - it's just a question.

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.

I have a similar feeling: to some extend people seek more leadership and more transparency.
A community manager could help here - any volunteers? ;-)

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


Take care,
