Peter is right, this point have to be processed. But i think improving 
the process should be a background task. It is easier to gather some 
people to work on a specific more technical point, like moving packages 
to GAR or creating new packages, than to focus effort on the process 
improvement. Moreover, doing this, will make things easier for people 
having less time to contribute. 

But ... process is not forgotten :)

If we want to setup this thematics agenda, some people will have to work 
on advance on the process. Each coming theme will raise discussion about 
the process improvement (what is missing, out dated, which documentation 
is missing etc.). This will have certainly to be done during the month 
before the theme (that's also why i propose to start by commnication, 
there is no process prerequisite).

Running a "thematic event" can go through simple steps like :
. week one we talk about what has to be done,
. week 2 and 3 people work on different task, according to their free time,
. week 4 everyone work is integrated, commited, tested and published

That's just a general process. It will have to be tuned to fit the real 
life and may chance according to the subjects

cheers
