Crumbs that sounds quite sinister! Speaking for myself, and not for BT, from where I sit the only thing going on behind closed the scenes are stuff you'd expect to go on behind closed doors, e.g. sponsorship. Beyond that I'm unaware of any hidden hand. There are no meetings in Area 51. There is no Grassy Knoll :) If that doesn't reassure you, then I suggest you start a thread with some specific concerns and we can get someone from Osmosoft and UnaMesa to answer them. Note: if it's the technical direction of TiddlyWiki which worries you, then that's a very different issue. TiddlyWiki is a fairly typical Open Source project in that the direction is steered by developers contributing trac tickets, patches, code, and Jeremy as our BDFL taking editorial control. We now have other core committers including Martin Budden and FND, but it's Jeremy who ultimately decides which contributions are released and which remain as plugins, extensions and forks. That path continues to be very transparent, and observable from trac: http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/ As in most any decision process there are discussions behind those decisions taking place on trac, this and the developer mailing lists, on irc, directly over email, IM and face to face discussion, sometimes over frothy drinks. It's not always to the satisfaction of everybody, but in life, nothing ever is! If you want to influence the discussion, it's simple: choose a venue which suits you and continue to contribute!
