We really need to be fixating on increasing our developer pool.  I
feel like that we've been relying on our paid developers to do all the
heavy lifting.

I also feel we should be spending an entire cycle not only on what
Allan is talking about, but also lowering the bar on getting apps.
For instance, glade still has a number of outstanding patches that
have not been reviewed which makes it difficult to play around with UI
for at least newcomers.
