I have to agree here. I even had to search the wiki for records who actually is
part of this team.

I seems that such discussions take place on the oe-private list. That is fine as
long as the issue needs to be addressed in a smaller circle until it came to a
conclusion. Still I miss a mail or similar once such a conclusion was done.

A trivial item was the new logo. An offer was posted to this very list that a
company was in favour of paying a designer for creating a logo. Great thing. The
next time I came in contact with this was as the new logo was used on the
website, wiki, etc. I was wondering what happened in between.

For such a trivial issue it was not even a needed to write a mail about it, but
it would have been nice to have a short report on what is/was going on. If a
coreteam of a project does not communicate what it is doing or plans to do it
leaves an aftertaste of missing transparency.
