Within the project we need better communication. I think this can partially be solved by using better tools. I need to setup a mailing list again and we need to interlink between the tools such as the forums, wiki, blogs, and other possible tools.
Also, we should try to have more real time communication. Maybe this would involve having a conference call every once in a while over skype or something similar. Or maybe this would just involve scheduling a chat or irc session. Either way, we need to have communication that is much more real time and gets everyone involved.
We also need better communication with our users. We need to announce what is going on to them as well as involve them in the project more.
