If it's important for you, why didn't you contributed ?
I suppose the answer is the same than in our case. (not enough knowledge, not 
enough time to acquire this knowledge, not enough money to acquire this time, 
... or, in another words: others priorities)

I can garantee you that if we had enough ressources (time, money, users, ...), 
we should have developped everything that is important. But developping an ERP 
is a huge tasks and everything seems important, it's just a matter of time and 
priorities.

Speed improvements has not been a priority, as all our customers use Tiny ERP 
without speed complaints and the others priorities were higher (dashboards, 
bugfixing, fully operationnal accounting module, web client, ...)

In our case, priority is conducted by:
* Customers
* Partners
* Community (our R&D budget)

The answer has been the same for everything we opened in the past: 1.5 years 
ago, we released the user doc, 4 months ago: the technical doc, this month we 
will release all our modules (200+).

Our goal is to open as much as possible Tiny ERP, and I think we succeeded in 
that direction as we are the most open ERP.

But our goal is also to garantee a fast growing curve of the software and the 
associated free or not services  (documentations, support, website, kernel 
devel, modules, svn access, partner's offers, trainings, ...). And we can do 
that because we pay our employees.

We open new aspects of Tiny ERP (and cut a part of our revenues) every time the 
company becomes a little bit stronger to garantee that we can still support the 
growth of the product. And each time we open something new, we improve our 
partner's services in counterpart.

PS: the first partner program is at 1950 EUR, not 8000 EUR. If you decide to 
use or to offer services on Tiny ERP, your profit will be much more higher than 
that. So, that's not so expensive, compared to the service we offer.
