Hi Vitos,

That's sad. Obviously an old project like FG as its own pace, things 
here evolve slowly, most of the time those things move in some cahotic 
way rather than an effective and straight way as would a strong and 
popular project (like a free operating system or a free web server)... 
But they move, and at the end the software is better at each release !

I'm affraid you wanted FG and the community to be "as you expected" 
given your previous own experiences (if any). The result is for you a 
great disillution, and for us, we loss a very very good modeler with 
great ideas.

But what was the most obvious solution to avoid this sad situation ? 
Changing the pace, the habits of a 100 contributors and 10 yo project 
along with documenting thousands of code line in some few months ? It 
would have been more easier for you to take the time to _feel_ how and 
how far you could provide a nice and long term support to the community; 
the help you were asking for would have been available soon or later. 
Now you show like feeling upset... well, for this time, you missed the 
point.

You will always be welcomed again, that's just a matter of learning Zen :-)

Alexis
