I have been following ROS for a while now and I see a few issues that need to be solved before it can grow.
1. Setup a PR group: This group will advertise, recruit and get supporters. It will be the job to spread word of ros, they will first attempt to recruit developers until a time that ros is out of alpha and can be use for daily use. They will also look for funding for ros by contacting possible donators. This group will need to be tiered so that we can organize what we need to do and when and have the leg workers able to carry it out.
2. Delegation / authority: We need to setup a bit of authority especially when it comes to the PR group. These people will be able to delegate time sensitive/ priority jobs to personal and have a way of communication between PR and Devs.
3. Website: The website needs to be updated (Which I have been told is in the works) The PR’s first goal should be finding some people able to manage that. They will need to have a template of what has currently been done and a design of what needs to be completed.
4. Project Information for new devs: We need to update the list of things that are “TODO” , the best list I have seen for something like this is... http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2011_Ideas This will give developers who check out the project a clear goal that they might want to pick up. This can be bundled with the way GSoC has a mentor program and have available mentors if someone needed more guidance.
