Yes, it seems like a lot the old school developers have gone into hibernation. I know first hand that a number of previously active developers are reluctant to contribute, due to a disproportionate amount of unconstructive negative criticism bestowed upon them by a small number of people on this list. Unfortunately, a significant proportion of well intended new contributers has undergone the same fate. Maybe this is a good opportunity to mention that I'm really pleased to see a number of familiar names frequently reappear on the list (you, Erik, Fred). I hope the rest of the old schoolers will follow. I also hope that this will be the return to a more open discussion of key development issues and the development of a new vision for the future of FlightGear. I also hope that this might be the start of a return to the nice friendly, cooperative and friendly place that this list once was.
