Remember that more people is not always better. Take a look, for example, at "The Mythical Man-Month" [1]. There is a main idea in the book: Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later. Coordination between a thousand people is _way_ more difficult than coordination between a hundred. > After Sarge is realeased, we really need to think in what are we doing wrong, > and arrange a more effective way (after a serius analysis).

We failed miserably. This discussion should not only take place at the end/beginning of a release cycle, but it should remain an ongoing concern. I have been quite disconnected from my mail for the last couple of weeks... But I'd like some input on an idea I posted at the Wiki [2].
