I'm pretty much the "core" developer, but many individuals have
contributed suggestions, reported bugs, requested features. In that
sense I definitely see BoltWire as a community project.

I have my own system I use offline that works for me--allows me to zip
and upload a release in a second or two. Others have  suggested using
some kind repository, but the learning curve is a bit of an obstacle
for me, esp when what I have is so convenient. I'm willing, just
haven't taken that step yet.

As noted above, no, but patches usually get put out pretty fast, as
well as new experimental features. Recently we launched a new
numbering system that has major releases as 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and cutting
edge semi beta releases as 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3, etc. Once we reach
some major milestone and appear to have the bugs worked out we will
release a stable 3.4 and then begin a new round of betas. The roadmap
is actually my personal note page--helps me keep track of stuff that
needs to be done, and gives others a chance to look over my shoulder
and make suggestions. All discussion is done through this mailing
list.

FYI, the download link on the home page of BoltWire is always to the
latest stable release. To get the cutting edge release go to the
downloads page.

Cheers,
Dan
