Aha, I actually read the original message and pondered following up...which I finally didn't (probably the "hey, you should do like Ubuntu" prank just annoyed me, even if Pedro can't be blamed for this, from an end user POV). Even easier: get in touch with people from the Brazilian Portuguese localization team (debian-l10n-portuguese@lists.debian.org....it is actually used only for *Brazilian* Portuguese l10n work). And contribute there. Pedro, the pt_BR team is already doing a tremendous work in translating many things (for instance, they are among the leaders for translation of packages descriptions). Of course, you'll always find something more that needs to be translated or adapted.....but, believe me, the brazilian Debian community is among the most active ones I've met. And the annual Debian conference might even end up in your country in 2012, in case you would want to be involved even more. So, as you see: there are certainly many things to improve. But just telling "Debian should do this" or "Debian should do that" won't make it happen. "Debian" is not a company, it's a collaborative project with no dictator telling people what they should be working on. So things are done when someone feels the need to do them. Not to tell that user feedback is ignored. Of course, it is used and we often appreciate getting it. It even often motivates people to work on a specific feature. But don't expect that much abou tthings happening because you ask for it...or you say they "should" be done..:-) > > > Project developers should use social networks to > > probe the needs of Debian users (Masters or beginners).Thank you for All > > Sorry, I don't have time for that, I don't even have enough time to do as much > development work for Debian as I wish.

Also notice that many Debian contributors have personal or philosophical issues with some widespread social networks (even though many of us are present on some of them).
