now they should hire more people

[Pooh22]

Mandrakesoft is doing fine, but now they are making profit again, they should work on getting more people to both fix big annoying bugs that no volunteer can/wants to handle and also get some people to drag the Club out of the desolate mess it's turned into since Deno left.

Mandrakesoft should (and probably does) realise the profit was more of a statement to the world than something that shows long-term health.

If they manage to hire some really good people in the first quarter of 2005, I think Mandrake 11.0 could be really good, but if they don't.... :-(

All IMHO of course ;-) /Simon
