To be honest Michael, you saying Logitech developers have no time to support 3rd parties by providing documentation or stabilising APIs etc. pretty much confirms Erlands point that 'third party contributions isn't important to Logitech in the future'. Not giving the developers time to provide this support is a strategic decision by Logitech, it's not an accident. If your future sales strategy is to target new customers then the decision not to support 3rd-party development may make sense. OTOH if you are trying to sell new products to the existing community, many of whom use and have come to depend on 3rd-party plug-ins, I think it is a mistake.
