Hi!

Many thanks for the many reactions on my mail. If everything goes well, I=
 can start at the preferences team(thx Sikosis). What I see is that there=
 are some "small problems" with OpenBeOs Management. I am new to this com=
munity, but I can say that I am following it since Be Inc "stopped". I lo=
ve BeOs, but on new systems, it does not work good anymore. I am very gla=
d to see that there is a group of volunteers that want to make Beos "comp=
etitive" again. But this is "shit" we hear every time. What I see and hea=
r now is that some things don't go very well and these are:

1) Communication problem with the management. We hear everything in "beos=
 news-sites" but nothing on the "OpenBeos-site"
Solution: A good and UP-TO-DATE news forum with easy acces. What I mean i=
s not a newsletter( the ones that exists are very good for those who are =
developing). I mean, if someone leave a team or gets into it, this should=
 be posted in a central place. And not somewhere in a 'dark corner' of th=
e site. A potential developer should have the possibility to send a mail =
to the "right" responsable team-manager. There should not be old email ad=
dresses.

2) There is no easy way to contribute to the project.
Solution: A webpage where you are able to fill in your interests and in w=
hich team you want to work. When you "submit", a mail should be sent to t=
he responsable team-leader

I just want to help, because I think this is important. I'm just 23 years=
 old, but one thing I know for sure. If there is a lack of communication,=
 you will have troubles sooner or later... and that is not what we need. =
With better communication you will see that a project will develop faster=
 and better.
