[wp-hackers] Community Views on Now and the Future

[Robert Deaton]

Dear all hackers and lurkers (I know you're out there),

With the growing frequency of topics that are frustrated with the way
WordPress is currently moving, especially this post from the forums
list ( http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-forums/2006-March/001532.html
), I'm growing curious as to how the hackers community as a whole
feels, so I'd like to throw up a little survey, and find out what some
people honestly think.

- How do you think the Development model of WordPress is now? What are
its strongpoints? What are its flaws? What do you think should be
changed and what should be left the same?
- What are your views on project's leadership? Are they steering us in
the right direction, or are we going downhill? Is community feedback
weighted enough with personal views of the developers? Are we
interacting with people outside the coding community enough to get a
fair view of what could be the best for everyone?
- Do we get too little, just the right amount, or too much feedback
from the developers on things discussed on this list and elsewhere? Do
you think this has a positive or negative impact on the project as a
whole?

I'll leave my views out of this message and answer my own questions
later in the thread.
