What I am starting to notice is that the kind of external support you get varies based on the product. The community around a platform like eclipse is fantastic, vibrant and meets most of my desires from above. Contrast that with the community built around Process Server or Rational Application Developer. Same company, completely different external interaction models. The fact that Project Zero is one of the vibrant communities pulls me towards wanting to get involved and learn more and I think that is an effect that IBM undervalues currently across the board.

We are addressing some of these (such as developers on the forums, open bug db, etc) in our IBM project, Project Zero (www.projectzero.org). (Which is the development community for the recently announced WebSphere sMash.) Really good ideas here.
