Hey, I fixed everyone's membership expiration date now, thanks for the
heads up.

Things went a whole different way during QQ, livetesting was definitely
part of the "QQ Stall".
I'm not sure how we can move on with that project now, given that
priorities seem to have changed completely. It is a great idea, other
distros do it, we should do it IMO, but we don't have a formal testing
structure or official support to maintain it. I propose we keep the team
and wiki there for now, until we can think what to do with it and how to
make it happen.

It's more or less like U+ in general:

- We are expected to work with Ubuntu legacy structures and Canonical,
but that won't happen - our ideas are too different from theirs;
- It was impossible to do anything when the team was recently born and
with less than 20 users. Now, with the team much more solid and with
more users, ideas are starting to sound doable/viable again.
- in aprox. 80 users, we have 15-20 more-or-less interested in
contributing with anything. We need to recruit, reach more than 100
users (I think that will happen naturally with th release of QQ). In a
group of 120+, I believe we can have a few sub-teams of 5-10 users
interested in specific activities. It's a matter of patience in my opinion.

My mistake was to expect all (or most) members to engage into all
proposed activities. It's clear for me now that I have to:
1) Join the few members which are willing to help and have some Ubuntu,
Doc Writing and programming experience to help put together a basic
structure to allow this sub-teams to work;
2) I think it consists of a web-based system to allow members to propose
ideas, communicate them to the team, write and publish the specs of the
idea, recruit supporters, turn the idea into a project, manage it in all
aspects. Not something like Redmine/Launchpad, something more basic,
open and free. I'm on to it.

Regards,
Effenberg
