Hi list, we expect that we have a huge ammount of people reading the list because they use Kannel actively as SMS or/and WAP gateway for their commercial purposes.
Alexander and I had a couple of discussions today about how strong (or consider the word weak better) the participation in the Kannel Group is concerning bug fixing, feature enhancements and general development activities. Unfortunatly we both came to the conclussion that it is *very poor*. It's almost unacceptable that currently only a couple of people are commited to the efforts of Kannel and it's future development. We don't claim responsibility. This is still an open source project and as people can deside to contribute they can alos deside to stop contribution. This was the case for WapIT and 3G Lab (as companies) in example. But we *do claim* responsibility of parties that take the benefits of open source by monetozing the work others do for their personal use. Those people should be aware of their "responsibility" and should contribute to the benefits of their own and the benefits of those who made their initial life with Kannel easier. So please take this as moral conclussion in terms of the upcoming chrismas days and think about the ideas and roles of participation within open source software projects... to refraze it in religion words: "it's worth more to give, then to take."
