Hello everybody, I know that this is an old thread, but unfortunately,
it doesn't have a proper answer, and people still ping me about it now
and then. Probably everybody is being pinged. Now that 3.10 is out the
door, perhaps it's a good time to revisit it.

I have personally be involved in turning both of these from

organizing meetings, etc. So, I think we've followed the mandate

last years AGM pretty well.
Yes. In the end probably all this is about personal impressions.
People
complaining are usually somewhat more noisy, and people don't realize
the other stuff we are doing. And as you say, you were publicly
pushing
for that, so I can't say that is a marketing problem that we need to
solve.
As we were saying some months ago, after AGM 2012 we have been more
active on moving forward and having discussions about decisions on the
platform. But some people still think that we are not doing that. So,
imho, probably we would need to do something to get more visibility on
that work.
After all these months, and having read over the previous discussion
and concerns, I personally concluded that one of the issues is not
getting any warning on changes on features until they are finally
implemented. If the work is done, is harder to say to the developer:
"you need to revert that change". So one idea would be expand the
feature proposal, in order to not only include new feautures proposal,
but also significant changes/drops on already existing features. After
all, we're already overseeing this process. We would be just expanding a
little the feature proposal process so that there are not any surprises
at release time.
Having said so. Thoughts, doubts?
