one problem is that the developers are probably all sitting in the same room. The have to get out of the habit of talking to each other and into the habit of communicating through the mailing list and sharing their code through the repository. It is very important to discuss *every* issue on the mailing list
I have the list of members on the mailing list and your email is not amongst them. So it would be a good idea to first join the mailing list and then judge on the asumtions.
Totally agree with this.
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. I looked at the mailing list archives and do not see one year's discussion there. 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.
