Despite the great work that Ruben does, Trisquel shares similar issues as
other "One-may-show" projects.
dynebolic currently has seen no progress since Jaromil, the maintainer, has
found no time for updating the distro.
If a project (be it free software or not) is driven / maintained by a single
person, then this person is a classical SPOF (= single point of failure).
Distributing work and knowledge is essential for the survival of any project.
If the main responsible person gets sick, gets hit by a bus or simply does
not like to work on the project anymore, then the project is essentially
dead. You can see dead projects all around in the web.
While it is true that Trisquel lacks monetary ressources to pay Ruben, it
also lacks a change in structure.
Additional to this I have the feeling that the build / development process of
Trisquel is not very transparent.
This leads me to another issue that the Wiki of Trisquel in its current
structure and the way it works is really a mess. Personally I do not feel
like writing anything in this wiki anymore.
Head over to the archwiki to get a feeling how a well structured wiki can
look like:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php
Just my two cents,
Holger
