Hi Ben, Rome wasn't built in day!

I'm sure some of the 'core' team will contribute also in time.

PS: I'm looking to try and add some stuff the weekend (catalyst ATI driver - provided I can get it working).

I wonder how many active forum posters are on this mailing list ...

How about this week concentrating on getting the guidelines etc.
sorted?

A Summer is but once a year :)
I think it should be certainly each major distro release.

I need your help in reviewing and editing the instructions on the
guidelines page. Once they are approved, we make a formal
announce on the website and the forums.

Thanks for your efforts, Rohit -- let's get the word out there!

Does anyone else on this mailing list (however many there are) have any thoughts?
  - Do you think that a month is long enough or too long?
  - Do you agree with the Guidelines as they stand at present?
  - Is there anything we (seemingly myself & Rohit) are overlooking?
  - In what ways could be encourage a little more support?

I was hoping for a little more reaction if I'm honest; it's a little disappointing to see the wiki edits stand at two spelling corrections and my one-line addition. Perhaps this may be down to a lack of guidance... so I'll work on the Guidelines & Contrib. pages tomorrow (I've a headache tonight from today's yucky exam revision).

If there aren't any follow-ups to this by, say, Friday then I'll post on the forum about it and take it from there. Hopefully that'll get a little more feedback. I appreciate the SliTaz 'core' team is a busy one but there's little point in 'sprinting' if there's going to be very little difference on the next lap, when contributors return to contribute some more! (I do hope that hasn't come across as rude or big-headed! I'm just passionate about making SliTaz as successful as possible.)

Thanks,
Ben
