I can agree that it's harder to get volunteers for a big company, but I
think it's also important to understand that most people doing third
party development around here do it because they want something
themselves and not because they want to help Logitech, at least that's
the situation for me. Some encouragement and communication could make
them step over the line and start doing something.
I think the biggest obstacle to get over is really Logitech itself,
it's hard for them to start asking for help, for some reason they seems
to feel that it's better to not do it at all than ask if someone is
willing to do it for them. It just feels stupid to me but I haven't
really worked for any big company selling consumer products so I
suppose I might not understand the issues.
