ok for this, but for marketing team what is needed is not a new ml, but 
real marketing objectives and people dedicated to them. what should do a 
marketing team is not (at least, only) writing blog post announces and 
things like that, but planning:

- marketing-plan
- balanced scorecard

in plus, we need people from dev and artwork that follow our suggestions 
and our plans (naturally, the plans should be agreed also by them). i 
can help in these areas of long-term view, i cannot follow tasks that 
should be done in a day. the paucity of linux is proper in the missing 
of a long-term view, where all the aspects of the project are taken in 
considerations and priorities are set and done.

Bugzilla 4 is a perfect example of what should do a marketing team 
(atelier, if you prefer) for real. Bugzilla would help qa team work, 
would improve the overall quality of the distro and would allow to 
manage bugs that affect different versions, but instead of porting it, 
we're at mageia 3 specs... useless


cheers,
