Ok, I _am_ an enthusiastic amateurs (and I am happy being it) and did contribute a bit to the code. You're right. But to consider Dean, Dan, Sean and Vidur amateurs is rather bold. And they have clearly done most of the checkins (this can be proved using SVN statistics). This is simply one of those old prejudices against open source software. BTW: the code which is responsible for wireless communication is in the firmware. This is neither open source, nor written by amateurs, but by Sean and Vidur. > If you can give it a dedicated system, with nothing else running, and > no competition for bandwidth, it now seems mostly okay.
