In my opinion the GNOME Community (or any of the smaller teams, e.g. KDE Community) needs a leader/community coordinator (with good knowledge of GNOME and involved in upstream efforts as well) who will organise and channelise community efforts. Such a person could try and formulate short term plans, publicise them from time to time and seek the help of the community to get these done. At the moment I think there is good direction with the GNOME team (and the releases are excellent) but plans, both short term and long term are not publicised enough (or perhaps they are and I have just missed them, if so apologies!).
Well I think we are in a very good position with providing upstream resources. As it happens the GNOME team have a great person in the one and only Vintcent Untz. One issue that we have is that because Vincent does such a good job he is in *huge* demand not just by openSUSE (where he works in the GNOME team but also in the Boosters) but also by upstream GNOME. He has managed to get some items covered by others, but he only has so much time before he falls over with fatigue - and we do *not* want vuntz to burn out!
I just need to add that Dominique Leuenberger is pulling a lot of weight as well. Once cloning humans are legal, both Vincent and Dominique should be cloned several times over.
