I know this thread has gotten completely OT, but I feel I should respond to the feeling of dissatisfaction.
I contribute to help me. I know that not everything I contribute will be accepted: see https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-25739 for one I created that I suspect that LL will never swallow, but that is already in Firestorm's LGPL codebase. What I've come to understand, and I accept as I can see the logic behind it, is that open source is not the same as open decision making, nor is it the same as allowing others to make the decisions. It simply means the code is available under a permissive license for others - including us - to review, comment on, modify, and compile for ourselves. Let me re-iterate: open source is NOT community maintenance. LL has never implied or pretended that they've set up a community maintenance program - and I think they'd have major problems if they tried. My L$2, and I will not continue in this topic on this thread. If you wish to respond to me, please take it off-list.
