Yes and unfortunatelly it requires programmer to understand :-) People may think that I underestimate things for purpose. No I don't. At the time when estimate is made there it is the best I can come up with. If I were multipling estimates by 2 at start I would end up with 4 times the original, simply because when you have more time you put more things and original idea becomes bigger than originally planned. Programming is work of art. It evolves when you actually do it. This is not bakery shop where you can multiply daily output times number of days for two months and you have correct estimate where you will be then with your production. Plus I am dependent on thing that are completely out of my control. During this 2 months 2 real time providers released 3 new versions of their APIs/ server software with big changes that require immediate testing/changes. If such thing happens I need to drop everything and check to ensure continuity. In the background there is also on-going work on new documentation site that you don't see now but will be released to the public soon. In the meantime I migrated also amibroker.org to a new better server. Things like that are not "visible" to the users but take quite a lot of time and can not be planned ahead.
