One more thing which I realized: We are still too focused on the developer side of things. E.g. when we are talking about an Attribute System we "only" mention the API in the roadmap. In my opinion a consistent way for SiteWideAdmins to extend forms and lists dynamically through adding Attributes they like is equally important.

Additionally a "help on this page" system should be incorporated into the standard templates. If we make a clever effort for easy publishing (e.g. have the default help come from an openacs.org wiki but allow for "local" help), actual users could write documentation on how to use a page resulting in considerably better documentation.

OTOH, the community has survived fairly well without the support for the actual users, so maybe all this talk about getting users involved is not really worth the efforts.
