Jeez, Ah'm shootin' off mah mowff a lot tuhday.

I just got to thinkin' again, and this popped up.

My recent experiences with OpenOffice suggest that
there needs to be a better way for users/potential
users of an open-source software to influence the
design and implementation. Certainly, you can
submit IssueZilla bug reports, but there's not a
really great mechanism for the submissions to be
beat up by a bunch of interested people, modified,
me-tooed, etc.

I'm thinking that the Wiki-wiki concept might be
a really great way to write the Requirements Specification
and maybe also the Design Spec for an open-source
project like OpenOffice.

Similarly, it might be a great way to develop
open-source documentation.

Anybody else? Or should I adjust the meds?
