It's very easy for developers to focus on things that are of interest to them, and sometimes that means that the user voice is lost. We are determined to change that and try to understand our users, and respond to their input, so that any funds contributed by users go toward addressing issues that are important to them. Here are two immediate ways that we will be doing this. First, Thunderbird users who respond to this appeal will be asked to give us input on what issues are most important to them. Second, we've created an Executive Council to oversee Thunderbird direction, and included several people on that council whose primary interaction has been with users, either in support or bug reports. We're open to other ways to hear from our users, so if you have any ideas or comments please contact us. | It's very easy for developers to focus on things that are of interest to them, and sometimes that means that the user voice is lost.

I'm Kent James, also known as rkent, from Redmond, Washington. I work mostly in C++ backend issues in Thunderbird, fixing bugs and crashes, and reviewing code. I also do the ExQuilla addon that adds Microsoft Exchange server support to Thunderbird. I'm trying to do my part to make Thunderbird better, will you do yours? | |||
