Steve your negativity just amazes me... closed shop? far from it, lets see we have this mailing list for people who prefer that method of communication, we have the forum for windows users who don't know anything else and we have the IRC. How much more open than that can you get? Each area with hundreds of people sitting around every day wasting their time answering questions just to help people like you!
You want all these things you have complained about over the years but won't lift a finger to or burn a brain cell to try and help get these things sorted out and added to LinuxCNC. I was a Windoze user since DOS 6.22 went out and could not even get a Linux machine to boot up till all the hard work by the developers to come out with the LiveCD. The first thing I did was build a plasma machine. When I ran into problems someone was there to guide me in the correct direction. Did they do all my work for me? no they didn't, but they helped me help myself over and over. If you were paying money for the software I could see your points, but it is all volunteer work done by people using up their valuable time to program, test, test, test, test (thanks Sam for all your testing). One last thing please read this post on the forum. http://linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/38-general-linuxcnc-questions/28138-new-scrypt-image-to-gcodepy-how-to-put-on-git#49074 This is how LinuxCNC continues to grow.
