<p>I like the idea of releasing when ready. Its done when the team thinks its ready and not because its being demanded by end users. In Linux Mint this does alot of good because of having to clean up after ubuntu so much. The releases are much more stable and polished. The way clement lefabre likes it. And everyone who uses it is usually satisfied with the end product. <br>
</p></blockquote><div>Well this is theway it seems we are going to, some people proposing 9 months release depending on release dates of main softwares. Anyway whatever the choice, it's obvious that we will not release final one if this is not stable enough.</div>

As for being in the news more, we dont have to put out a release just to be able blog about whats going on in the mageia community and remind everyone why mageia is special. But this must be the case because theres rarely any new news posted in mageia blog unless a release is coming out. Thats getting about as lame as these messages in this mailing list telling people they sent their message to the mailing list wrong.<br>
What is this distro really about? One upping mandriva and following the same mechanical routines they did to piss you guys off, or building a real community distribution of gnu/linux that cares more about keeping in touch with the community than they do about the way someone new sent a mailing list message. Theres more to a linux community then mailing lists.<br>
At first I was excited about using mageia, and being a part of the community. Now im dissappointed because I see how you treat people that are not on the team. Basically like their opinions<br></p></blockquote><div>Not at all. everyone can subscribe mailing- lists. The point is Mageia is a young project and we cannot afford for now at least to spread efforts on forums and mailing-lists and blogs... People still sleep during the night. It may not be perfect but it's a start. Our points is just to try to get all opinions in a same place, that's all.</div>

(that you ask for) dont matter, and you are only concerned with the proper submission of mailing lists messages. Get someone on the blogs and start talking to the rest of the community the way they deserve. I agree with the gentleman leaving the mailing list. This isn't worth sticking around for. Time to remember why you started mageia in the first place.</p>

I don't even know how to use this thing and yet I had to signup to get my voice heard because this is the way you want to do things? I don't understand where the whole community fits into this here right now, I think I actually say a lot when I say that many people want a rolling release.... It just seems the developers will have the way here... Why ask in the first place? Really?<br>

Again I don't know how to use this thing and should not have been forced to.<br>> I would also say that I, for 1 will not be staying if you are going to do a release cycle only... I have loads of options if I just want snapshots of what's going on in the Linux world.... Arch gives me so much more and I had hopes of switching to this with a release model that made sense... But it seems we won't and we will just become yet another XXX release cycle distribution with no clear anything that sets us apart from X.<br>
