As an example, putting contributors first doesn't make a lot of sense, when we want to reach out to users beyond the community. There we would have to put users first and define who they are, how to reach them, and what activities would support that.
We can't have contributors without users and we can't have users with contributors, but I think contributors have to come first, because they are essential in producing what will attract the user.
Couldn't agree more.
And I would even add something else: this isn't just about creating software.
It is also (and even prominently ?) about having a nice, friendly, productive
(in a positive sense) atmosphere and group of people where contributors can do
stuff they like to do.
I don't believe that "market share" should be a priority for the openSUSE
project (or, at least, not one of the top priorities).
But hey, maybe that's just me :)
