I understand and share you frustration. I'll add that once a project like this one is so far behind, it actually makes it harder to recover as fewer people come here and that leads to even fewer resources. Your disadvantages pile up and compound on each other and it can make things feel quite hopeless. It takes a lot of determination to keep going against such terrible odds. It also takes a dalai lama level of zen to not direct that frustration at those who offer suggestions on how you can do better with what little you have and go silent when the topic comes up on how they can do better and contribute the little they have. I appreciate you mean well and truly do want the project to be stronger. TomEE was built by people in their spare time (including me) and we seemed to hover around 1.5 FTEs in aggregate across a small handful of people. We're still at that level of resources. We could have a large community discussion on how those people spend their time, but I don't think more opinions will help them and will likely discourage them. Rather thank asking the community what they want most, I'd be more interested in knowing how we can help them contribute what they want. If you have any suggestions I'm very willing to hear them. -David
