While i can follow the critique i want to say: out of experience in various communities - online and offline: if one project is centered around one single person it will fail. Its just a matter of time and exceptions are rarely. If someone likes synth please support it. Programming is just one single part needed to keep a project alive, even a programming-project. If you feel you are not a programmer, but for example a manager, manage to ask people for support, for feedback, for programming, etc. Greetings, Torsten
