It seems that the community is open and the community is active,
although at a lower level than some projects as Frank observed in this
thread. The developer community is open and as far as I can tell, does
not operate behind close doors. As an example, requests for action to
the PSC use the -Dev mailing list. From what I have seen, the
community is certainly open to new contributors.
