 These questionnaires were developed to facilitate the review process, and are the culmination of months of hard work by our very dedicated and passionate volunteers. This is why it pains me to read such harsh criticisms by members that are not even familiar with the current criteria/process we are trying to implement. You can find a more detailed description of the assessment criteria and the review process in the [https://www.owasp.org/images/d/d8/PROJECT_LEADER-HANDBOOK_2014.pdf 2014 Project Leader Handbook] (See Chapter 7).
-My suggestion to those that are so very quick to criticizes the hard work of others is to please familiarize yourself with the actual efforts that have gone into these endeavors. If you see an issue with something that we have done, please let us know and pitch in to help. Many of our processes and procedures are dependent on volunteer contributions, and if we have no support in these areas, then there isn't much we can do on the operations side as the resources we require are simply not available.

 Change takes time, and it will take much longer if all we do is rant on a mailing list about how unhappy we are. If you are unhappy with something, roll your sleeves up, and pitch in to try and make it better!

 It has come to my attention that some members of our community have an issue with the assessment criteria we are using to evaluate our OWASP Projects. I would like to take this moment to clarify a few points to the community in an effort to clear up any mis-understandings about this process and how it was developed.
