Then I propose that first the system is working, and then we see how it
work. The code for forum is on git://git.mageia.org/git/forums.git,
anybody can clone and send patches.

The same goes for the code for the setup of our server is on svn : 
svn://svn.mageia.org/svn/adm/puppet/ 

Heck, we even answer to questions regarding puppet if someone ask them.

Until that I receive a patch, I think I will focus on the current TODO
list

Are you volunteer to collect and summarize feedback from the existing
tools ?

If the answer is "no", then we will not do anything with more feedback,
except doing false hope to people. 

If the answer is "yes", show us the work.
