Firstly - Why is this document not on the Wiki? Several contributors to this team have already stated their displeasure in using closed platforms as collaboration tools.
I should not need a Google account to contribute to this list
There's more to the problem here than a displeasure, or having an account. It defies transparency to have such documents existing OUTSIDE of the community infrastructure, and it diminishes the ability for a team to grow with new contributors. How can you possibly recruit new people who drive-by if everything is outside of the infrastructure? There's a million potential contributors out there, not just this particular group of people. If someone says, "Hmm, I like openSUSE, I want to contribute some of my expertise (or at least develop some skills to contribute.) Let's go searching on the wiki and see where to start" how on earth are they going to know about a Google doc? I dare say that the accusations against folks like Richard and Marcus as being elitist seems hypocritical in this case. Only those who are in the know about the existence of such documents are the elitists, whereas the others have done things out in the open. It defies logic to expect team growth when all activity is happening outside of the infrastructure.
