totally disagree with this. My point is that this software has been under development for a year or so - and has been developed using the proprietary model.

The strength of free software is not that the code is released, rather it is the fact that the *full* development takes place transparently in public and the public can share in it from the word go. --
Right and IIRC, the point had been made earlier in the discussion. The project's developer mailing list is the forum; what is there or not there is water under the bridge.
Moving on, one can either keep viewing the "half glass of water" as half empty or as half full and an opportunity to fill it with one's experience and mentoring.
I wonder why Indians tend to get defensive when faced with constructive criticism? You would think I am an enemy of the project.
What is so defensive about asking you to join the developer's mailing list?
I would not classify your comments "as an enemy" of the project but your criticism do come across as inordinate.
Nobody is perfect. IYO, there may have been short comings but that is water under the bridge.
Please get involved in the project if you are serious about helping this project.
