"It just shows there is no clear leadership or direction for this project."
Becuase of the "when it's ready" policy? Please note that the Debian Project has the same policy. If you wish to criticize Trisquel for a lack of an exact date it seems you must also criticize the Debian Project as well.
I think you're oversimplying the work done by Trisquel. I see people sitting around complaining. "One person project" etc. Not one of these people are posting anything to the trisquel-devel mailing list trying to get involved in development, so of course it's small because who else will do it if not Ruben? Because no one else is posting on the trisquel-devel mailing list (i.e. "Here's a patch for an updated Helper to fix Trisquel bug # xxx...") Until/unless that happens I'm going to ignore them because anyone can sit on the sidelines and bitch. It's quite another thing to actually do stuff.
