<p dir="ltr">Hi all</p>
<p dir="ltr">First off just wanted to congratulate everyone on the 14.10 release, being a recent returner to the platform its great to see this branch grow :)</p>
<p dir="ltr">On point 4, I think this important but consideration would need to be made on how this would affect the release schedule ?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Skipping to points 6 and 8, this 'should' be fairly easy to do using WordPress and buddypress which will allow a user/admin structure - which will give everyone the ability to post, we can also feed in the various digital channels we have and I would be happy to step up to this challenge.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All the best</p>

I am just thinking loudly here. I have other ideas in mind but I don't feel like sharing all that at this very moment in order not to confuse anyone.</p><p>Also, I see lots of positive emails on this list. I see new people are around. I see a great contributions for translations for the first time maybe. I see many great initiatives .. I wish and hope to see that always within our communities.</p><p>My mind is not yet clear at the moment nor set to start any planning. So, kindly give me sometime. <br></p><p>To summarize all what has been written above: I do wish, hope and want to do everything differently for this cycle. Some things within our communities I am not happy with. Let's see how it goes.</p><p>Sorry if this email is so long and confusing. Again, this is just thinking loudly. Nothing written on stone.</p><p><br></p><p>Thanks for reading!</p><p>P.S.</p><p>Whatever mentioned above, this is can NOT be done by one person only.
