Great to see your enthusiasm. To me it looks however, as if you more or 
less missed the step to find out where your initiatives could land, 
before starting with them ;-)

As explained by others already: many things are being worked on, but we 
cannot do all at once, now, immediately and full size from the first 
moment.
So maybe some very good ideas must just be shifted some time (not 
forgotten), or need some more preparation, to get the attention they 
deserve or the right prepared ground to grow?

I see Sophie explained about Documentation.
There also is something else that is due rather soon: information about 
the features in the stable release of LibreOffice (proabaly December).
And we have the idea of short interviews with new developers, to publish 
on our website.

Kind regards,
Cor
