Open Distribution, Closed Development

So if I understood right. One good step to help is (for example) to create a documentation on how to create and submit a patch in order for those that want to help (and know how to code) but don't know what, where and when they must send the changes to do it easily ?

I think that the problem here (and I can be wrong) is not about you (as the team) don't listening to us but more we (the community) not knowing what is really needed in emergency for this project. As an example, I'm pretty sure that if someone from "the top" said something like : "Package XYZ has a bug that I don't have time to solve could anyone do this" then this bug will be mostly corrected in the same day.

I am saying this because, I am working right know on a small team of people that have they own daily jobs (that are, by this reason, more important than the project we are doing) and the organization is a bit messy because of this. Because they are a bunch of good people trying to help us but we just can't provide them the resources to do so, simply because if we could then this time spent would be spent on doing the project itself.

But once again, maybe I'm seeing this wrong. Personally I have problems with DEB packages, I am trying to learn but I still can't find a good way to do this after reading a lot of documentation (this is why I criticize the debian packaging over the arch linux packaging). It is like the snap window problem on Compiz. I have an idea on how to solve it (I already tried out when Ubuntu 12.04 came out. At that time I didn't even know about trisquel). But I just don't know how to compile only the compiz plugins since I don't find any information about it anywhere.

And I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one on this situation.

I'm trying to contact people who were interested in volunteering. :( unfortunately it turns out to be more difficult to do that than anticipated. 3 / people an hour seems to be the limit and not every person is reachable.

I'll probably post a new forum topic as well.
