community contribution is
1) don't threat the mailing list as a chat
2) use it to ask help, not to ask opinions (hey do you like my
fancy-new-ultra theme?)
3) merge guys, teams, then let's order the work in the wiki, doing real
stuff and not mockups

<br>Also, as said by kenneth, ten thousands of mockups full of transparency and mac-like nautilus are completely useless.<br><br>From my point of view, one thing that could be done to have a higher quality community contribution is<br>
1) don't threat the mailing list as a chat<br>2) use it to ask help, not to ask opinions (hey do you like my fancy-new-ultra theme?)<br>3) merge guys, teams, then let's order the work in the wiki, doing real stuff and not mockups<br>
