Don;t you think that I thought about that :)? Yes I did. Now don't you think that trying for real once more would not make sense? Else we are banned to be alone And just already making official was is working would be good. Every couple of friday the ocean people are coding together. Stef
Are you trying to repeat experience of Squeak teams? I can remind you that they are never worked and failed in the end.
And i think that problem is that its hard to coordinate people which are located around the globe and their main tasks are completely different. Another reason is that you cannot enforce any kind of responsibility for delaying or not delivering , because we're talking about enthusiasts.
I believe that individual people with own vision and own, personal, agenda could do much more. If someone would like to voluntary coordinate some activities, i am all for it. Now this means that given person should have plan in his head and stick with it, and keep an eye, ask around, communicate, and of course try coordinate people. But is it really need to be formalized like that?
We, as community could discuss the agendas, and then a concrete steps to implement it. Now, its not really matters who will do it, as long as there enough people interested in helping with it. And its completely pointless to form groups of individuals, only to be listed as a group member on site and doing nothing (for whatever objective reason).
So, the right questions about any improvement, which we would like to see in future is: - do/why we need that - who can do that
if both of these questions can be answered positively, then it is only a matter of time for new feature to appear. And to my opinion, putting any kind of formality around it is completely orthogonal to what will happen in reality.
