First of all, thank you Rythal, for allowing us other developers to be a part of this. I really appreciate your effords. Usually, one expects such an favourable introduction to be an excuse for what is next, but please keep in mind that this is only a suggestion, not a demand.
Many of us other developers would really like to do even more than having a look at bugs or do tiny parts of the required updates. So what I want to ask you is
- let us coordinate our effords. We have a rather coarse Todo List thanks to samyonair. You can tell us which parts you are currently working at and which parts you'd rather we do - the other developers will probably gladly pick tasks from that list and we will avoid doing work twice.
- please push your work in progress more often to github, using an "unfinished" branch/tag. This way, we can spot fixes out of your code and tell people if their problems are addressed in the soon future.
- a more transparent release process would probably help, too. Github has milestones for that (a milestone usually consists of features and fixes).
That's all. I hope you find my suggestions at least partially acceptable. Thank you for your consideration.
By the way, I'm working on a new homepage for carbonite. I haven't made the screenshots yet, but you can see how it'll look like here:

Constructive criticism and other feedback is welcome.
