Also included in this document is a summary of some of the ideas that came out of the SilverStripe UK community feedback session they held in April 2012.

If anyone would like to contribute more ideas or discuss some of the proposed please feel free to do so in here.

Thanks all,

Nice work!
We could implement something like Votebox https://www.dropbox.com/help/136/en for new modules and useful, modular classes.

I think the silverstripe.org site is also a bit confusing, maybe a bit restructuring/redesigning would help.
(maybe a contest like for the new theme)

Ok, i will do…

I think, everyone who deals with open source structures should read The Cathedral and the Bazaar by Eric S. Raymond.

Hi,
yes, that's true. you'll definitely need a core and a small group around it. But as i said, for example new modules could be voted/managed/development by the community, on a platform builded by the community, not given from the "top".

In my opinion, a community should work from the inside out, only then will create their own group feeling.

For me, there are currently too many spreaded sites. (API, documentation, google groups, etc.). The silverstripe.org is for me basicly the forum, news, and the download area. Whenever I search for extensions and modules, I google… I find many things at github but rarely here ...
That should change and i would help!
