General anger is not something which need to be translated. I, for example, want all best to GNOME and to this community. But, as far as I could see, some things go in wrong way and I just would like to point on that. I'm more than ready to help to improve the things and also I want to become one of significant contributors, but first I do not know how many developers GNOME have and its responsibilities, I do not know how whole life-cycle goes, etc. I mean I know something but not on satisfying level to be able to develop.
