This is where the project friction is at. In a perfect world you don't need users, external contributors and fresh ideas to keep a project = moving forward, but we are not in a perfect world. I personally find it silly to keep begging for 6 years for someone to = commit something.

In community management terms, that's a major flaw. > I would urge everyone to be calm and patient. This is an important = dialog and it's bound to be bumpy. I also strongly urge people to = refrain from discussing it further on technical lists where it is = counter productive and unwelcome. So you are saying "shut up" and be patient like we've never been patient = in the last couple of years? That's bold, but unfortunately also = consistent MO. Cheers, Franco=
