team become active enough to split everyone out though? Despite having 25+
members of the team, only 3 or 4 ever seem to step up and participate in any
way.

Totally agree with Andy. Launchpad and our forums take a major part of our
waste time. This time lost is precious  and like the development begins to
start for the 1.4.0 and the 2.0 (?), we will be concentrated on . We have so
much to implement/do and So we could do all. More participation is needed.
we are so numerous that we can do that. Anyway,  like my waste time is
reduced currently (and for a while) and I must provide more efforts than
planned, I will be not present (as usually) on this sites for staying
focused on the code/develpmnt. For the French comunauty (i.e Lprod and
Ubuntu-fr) soon I will find some help (I hope).
