I would not exactly say wasted, but... the community does seem lethargic. Or apathetic. If half of the number of people who complained about missing or poor X spent 20 hours making some co-ordinated improvements, things would be a lot better. I don't know how to make that happen. For one, it requires someone with a vision who can do the co-ordination. If we had that, and a road map, that might attract people to pitch in and do something. Or not.
