Nice set of points on bad community management raised by Josh Berkus.

Do you disagree with any? Are there any things you would add? Do you think our projects suffer from any of these problems, and what constructive criticism do you have?
We have had issue #1 "depend on difficult tools", but that is already solved with our switch to bzr.
Also, is there stuff you'd like to see the Maria community do?
I think these points are a good jumping-off point to make sure we do things right.
I would add as #11 Develop a closed and open source version of your software and only listen to feature request of your closed source customers. Overall we got a lot better than MySQL was in 2004/2005.
