Some thoughts by someone else than me about this issue : Vitality
The most important thing that I think would benefit Debian is increasing its tempo. We've been slow in a lot of things, from releasing, to getting updates in, to processing applications from prospective developers, to fixing bugs, to making decisons on policy questions, and all sorts of other things. Even the DPL election process takes longer to go from start to whoa than the last Australian Federal Election, and this year we'll have two state elections run and complete entirely within the election period. There are often good reaons for this, generally of the form "it's more important to get it right than to do it fast", but that objection is often used even when there's no actual contradiction between those goals. And sometimes doing it fast *helps* you to do it right, by letting you try out solutions and act on the feedback -- that is, the "release early, release often" philosophy. Do you all recognize it ? Yes, it is indeed the meat of Anthony's DPL plateform, and we know that the debian project stands behind them, since they voted Anthony as DPL. So, Frans and other of the d-i team, please read them, and think a bit before you get offended because i propose some pro-active thinking for d-i. Especially as it is just thinking, and not non-consensual d-i svn commit as i was accused of doing.
