I don't feel left out, I tend to only respond to things I feel I can contribute on, or have an opinion about. I think the community is pretty solid and considering the number of messages I recieve on a daily basis (excluding the JIRA spam ;-)), I think the community is thriving. Voting is sometimes artificial IMO. When someone is recommended for inclusion in the core project for instance, I've yet to see one -1 vote. It feels more like ceremony than real practical value. When voting for plugin releases, I think the current process is ok. If someone is monitoring the mailinglists, he/she can pull the breaks when he/she feels that a release of a plugin is too soon. When the most important and recent players on a particular plugin have voted +1, I'd say release. The only 'gripe' I have is that it takes too long for 1.1 to become final, I'd liked it when more development effort had been put into releasing 1.1somewhere in june, but I don't think that is a huge problem though. 1.0.2 is still working wonders for me. Go team! Martijn
