I agree with most of what you said and I also agree with Boris not
wanting to work for free - I don't want to work for free either. But
with JBoss you've probably picked the one open source project with the
worst reputation out there (see
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/64762 for instance). It's
exactly the "JBoss-Style" that I would hate to see Magnolia slip into.
Open source projects work best, if nobody expects anyone to do
anything. Users shouldn't expect features from developers and
developers shouldn't be dependent on a revenue out of the effort they
put into their project. The only thing that one should come to expect
in an open source project is that code and documentation should keep
pace with each other and that if someone wants to contribute he/she
should be able to do so easily. Otherwise the project will never
attract new developers.
Cheers,
Will
