] Could this not go on ckan-dev :) ?

] To answer questions:
] 
] 1. Yes, someone should review tickets (but whom, and is this a higher
] priority than other things they could be doing)

The trac should probably send emails to us when a ticket is created,
that would go a long way without spending lots of time orting tickets.
There is definitely a point where it is more work to sort tickets 
than to fix or investigate a problem. Not saying tickets shouldn't
be sorted, just that this needs kept in mind.

] 2. For general community members: if they really have a problem they
] could join ckan-dev and ask

But remember that many people don't want to join yet-another-mailing-list
just because they have a question or problem. This is appropriate for
longer term committed community members but not really for casual users.

] 3. They can come to community meetups

Always a good thing.

Cheers,
-w
