As you indicate there will probably not be enough contributions to continue at the same pace, in which case it's better to reduce the scope early and continue delivering a good but smaller product, rather than trying to keep the same scope and be unable to cope with it.
-Bertrand I disagree with this completely, if you want to make netbeans a success you need to have the same product as version 8.2 as a baseline to start with. People want to improve on 8.2, not make it worse. If you reduce what it is as a product you will lose users. At the moment it feels like all that is happening is an endless voting cycle, I guess that is putting people off contributing. As an aside, is there a quick summary of where we are. I'm a bit confused with all the code donations. What is left to be integrated? What are the next steps post the netcat phase? Also out of interest are the biggest users of netbeans java / web developers? Or is the use of netbeans split evenly with people who use it as a platform?
