Do we need a formal, democratic, non-profit Organization for organizing the Nextcloud community?

it is more or less expect-able - the want to pay their bills…

this is not a solution as well as long employers of Nextcloud GmbH decide which pull requests finally enter the product. There are useful PRs not integrated into product for long time - exactly for the reason mentioned above - there is no ā€œbusiness caseā€ for it…

but definitely the situation makes personal user sad and looking for alternatives/ideas how they could achieve the goals. Now communication is somewhat one-way they ask to help test! new shiny versions… and don’t even participate in a discussion here.

I’m still under impression best solution is when Nextcloud GmbH setup some kind of user voice and start talking to the personal users community - they are free choosing the format they want… otherwise I see a risk another organization is founded and works in different direction or even forks the product splitting the user base rather focus the power into same direction.
