<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">A great discussion thread has come to my attention.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">3 issues in this post</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. I should know what is going on. And I guess I don't. As a user I don't live in the release and bug world and so just recently learned that all the developers are running around crazy like to get us the software we use. I appreciate their hard work. This would however present a great reason to get more USERS involved in the process so that OSGEO or PSC related activities are not placed on hold around release time.

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So I would love some input about what is not working well that would hinder participation and maybe some sugestions of what can be done. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">3. From the e-mails I have been receiving it seems that there may be an interest in anonymity perhaps. Is this true?</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any input on how we can make the PSC Process beter would be great</FONT>
