First, the mailing list is to be used for ideas and communication. You
are absolutely correct that FIC will have to make the final decisions
about what is and isn't included. However, suggesting that people
shouldn't be expressing their interests about features no matter how
niche/picky/whatever is just plain wrong. FIC will hopefully use some
of the ideas (and mailing list reaction to those ideas) as a mini focus
group to determine what features users will really want/use. There will
always be complainers, that is just life...ignore them.
Overall, I thought your post was full of fluff (and somewhat out of left
field). On the other hand I was someone who posted my disappointment
with the amount of communication that has been given back to us lately.
Do they have to keep us in the loop? Absolutely not, most companies
aren't even near this open about future products. However, my
frustration (if you want to call it that) is the missed delivery date.
They set a concrete date, missed it, and then just told us "soon." I
don't think that is very professional.
I was going to put my disclaimer about how I am 100% for FIC and
OpenMoko, but its on my original post so don't think that I am trying to
bash Sean and the gang. I'm just disappointed at how the last three
months have progressed.
