I get the sense that Thunderbird doesn&#x27;t have cohesive vision or leadershihp: All the big organizational moves seem to be Mozilla&#x27;s initiative; I don&#x27;t hear about much happening at Thunderbird, technically or organizationally; and Simon Phipps&#x27; report[1] says the following when considering an independent Thunderbird Foundation, and the implication I take is that these issues can&#x27;t be resolved now:<p><pre><code>    *   Creating a new entity involves resolving all of the
        issues currently facing Thunderbird and its community
        and then making them concrete in legally­binding bylaws
        and articles of association.  As such, it is a step best
        taken after these things have been resolved, rather than
        before.

    *   With all these things taken into account, I would not
        recommend this option as a first step.  However, it may
        become appropriate in the future for Thunderbird to
        separate from its new host and become a full independent
        entity, and the ability to do this should be considered
        in selecting a new home.

</code></pre>
But my concern is based on only an intution plus a few observataions; does anyone know? I don&#x27;t mean it critically; it&#x27;s hard to organize and find leadership resources for a volunteer project. Mostly, I&#x27;m just concerned about Thunderbird.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.mozilla.org&#x2F;thunderbird&#x2F;files&#x2F;2016&#x2F;04&#x2F;Finding-a-Home-for-Thunderbird.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.mozilla.org&#x2F;thunderbird&#x2F;files&#x2F;2016&#x2F;04&#x2F;Finding-a...</a>
