It's more than "no time", it's also "no priority". And THAT is a decision, the decision about how to prioritize things. "No time" then follows suite. The priorities are something like (I'm guessing and doing examples, I don't know about the real priorities) 1 Get Touch done 2 Fix Radio's Alarm 3 Get services intensive bugs out 4 do some other strategically important things (after all, the ressources that got moved off the project must have been moved off for a reason) 5 maintain 3rd-party functionality Given the fact that indeed some pretty important - even for new and not-so-experienced customers - features of the Squeezebox are provided by 3rd parties this is a decision that very much has a short-term focus. As long as it only stays for the short term (e.g. until 1+2 are done) that may be fine, if it continues after that, I'd expect it to eventually impact sales of existing products. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73698 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
