Encouraging people in the community to participate and give their feedback

Sometimes when a thread is posted or proposal made on the mailing list, there is no community feedback at all. Lack of feedback makes it very difficult for the person making the proposal or starting the discussion because they dont know whether the community are not interested, think it's a bad idea or silent because they agree. Over the last few months with all the work that has been done, lots of ideas and proposals have been made.

Project Strategy and Roadmap

The project desperately needs at clear strategy and roadmap. Attempts have been made to draft one in the past but we need to formalise this in a better way and also have people willing to drive it forward.

Strategy will provide a clear path for people to follow

Will allow us to set goals / milestones and metrics about progress

In past maybe we have tried to do too much (tried to do it all at once - which is why we find it hard to focus). Suggestion was to set a maximum of 3 goals and then work only on these. To define these goals we need to look at what is the most important thing that we want to achieve - and base them on that.

Suggestion was that the most important thing for the project is driving adoption. If this is true then what are the key blockers that stop user adoption of OFBiz?
