As nobody here is full time employee you should expect lack of response even to good ideas and you should continue untill they get roots and flourish. This is something you seem not to understand in an open source project.

I want to be a bit careful here. I don't want to support Steven's approach, because I think it was too aggressive to be helpful. But regardless of who's right and who'se wrong, I'd like to make a small comment about this paragraph:

4-6 months seems like an awfully long lead time. Open source is supposed to evolve quickly because it doesn't have the restraints that a Cathedral has. Other open source projects don't have a 4-6 month wait between first appearance and first contribution. In other projects I've seen, it's been more like 1-2 weeks.

I do not get it. The last two or three weeks since we've started the wiki in an attempt to solve the lack of interactive tools problem, the project is in changing.

Cristian, I think you've done a fantastic work with the wiki and moving the project forward.

Best,
Daniel.
