Michael,
Don't let this kind of stuff let you down. You got a very cold shower as
your intro to the opensource community, but this isn't the way it's always
like. You were exposed to some of the drawbacks in this model, so you
wouldn't have any idealistic expectations, but a bit more rational
ones... But as I said in the beginning, if you learn to grow a slightly
thicker skin and just go on and contribute, there are good chances things
would work off.
My suggestion to you is to just go on with your project, and possibly try
to interest other people to join in. If you have more concrete needs from
us (as in the PHP group), let us know.
