Yes, projects using the code are a big help. We've seen bug reports - and fixes - come in from Synapse and Limewire (iirc), for example. Unfortunately it is not within our sphere of influence who is using the code. We are facing the traditional problem of middleware: it's not cool, like hacking on a kernel is. It's not a personal requirement like a hardware driver is. And it's not user-facing like a browser. It's just somewhere in the middle, and as long as it does what it's supposed to do, few people care. When it doesn't, there are some fixes, and then the interest fades away again. We're trying to make the code appealing to more users, but the users won't come until the code is almost ready to be used for their purposes. We'd have to stumble over somebody starting to hack on it as a pastime... while Oleg and I are setting a pretty high standard in terms of code quality.
