IMO, we should improve phone conference preparation stage, in order to 
allow people in the different markets to express their needs and make 
their suggestions.

TDF, for many reasons, is still a steep pyramid, and this makes it more 
difficult for people to feel that they can contribute to the project.

This is a very good idea. In addition, we should make it easier for 
people new to the project to understand how to contribute in different 
areas (something that is clear for someone and obscure for many others 
who are not used to FOSS projects).
