Community membership
Its great to contribute code, but not thats not the only way to
contribute.
Debian is a great "experts" distribution, but i wouldnt recommend it to
a windows user who has no linux knowledge.
Broadening the membership base to draw in people other than
coders/packagers could help to give debian a better perspective on what
issues need to be resolved in a "newbies" eyes, which could help to make
it a more widespread/better product.
Developers and communitity members wouldnt have to be "equals"
Wether its worthwile to do this would depend on how hard it is to
implement, but everyone can contribute in there own way.
If it was easy to implement what would be the disadvantage of it ?
No-one *NEEDS* to be recognised as a debian member to support it, but it
may give people on the fringe a greater sense of belonging.
maybe im just talking out my arse again.
Thanks
