Hi !!
Development of RC is comming at a point where organization is a must if we want to do things well. I just want to propose some things that could improve developing and that could be discussed further on this list:
Patches, bugs and feature request should ALWAYS be submitted to the SourceForge tracker:
this will improve tracking what has been done, what left to be done and assign resources (developers) and priorities to each patch, bug or feature request. This will imply that someone has to assign priorities and developers to patches/bugs/features. Developers should go to the SourceForge tracker when they are free to do some programming, list unassigned pacthes/bugs/features and ask through this list or directly to the project admin to get the desired task assigned to him.
The dev list should be only for communication between developers, no pacthes, no bugs, no feature request, no end user support. This will keep the list clean. Of course, new features could be discussed on this list once proposed through the SourceForge tracker.
Coordination is another problematic point. Most developing at RC needs PHP, JavaScript, DHTML, graphical design and not all of us are masters on all those areas together, so coordination between coders is a must
