Yesterday, I read a blog talking about open source project(http://blog.ometer.com/2012/03/15/a-few-thoughts-on-open-projects-with-mention-of-scala/), in the " Project direction and priorities " section, which makes sense to me:

"An open project and its community are the sum of individual people doing what they care about. It's flat-out wrong to think that any healthy open project is a pool of developers who can be assigned priorities that "make sense" globally. There's no product manager. The community priorities are simply the union of all community-member priorities."

Take OVM as an example, apparently, it's not in the Citrix's CloudPlatform team's highest priority. If other people want this feature, the idea situation is to pick it up by yourself. I think Marcus set a great example about how to work with community under this situation. We, the community, are open to bug fix, feature enhancement etc.
