IMO the inputs BEFORE you write a single line of code is far more important than any number of bug fixers you are likely to get later. You miss this and you will have a full rewrite on the menu card.
Closed systems have to suffer the secrecy that is the cornerstone of their business plan (atleast they believe it is a cornerstone). An open project has already shot itself in the head by this approach.
