Did you notice it here? or are you simply prejudicing this project based on
your bad past experiences?

Ah! so it's been bad past experiences :)

BTW, FOSS projects are not democratic because voting and talking neither get
the things done nor fixed. And believe or not this has worked far better than
democracy ;-)

AFAIK nobody has cursed you here (yet), so comparison is out of place, IMHO.

Sure, but accepting the opinion of others about your ideas when isn't the same
is also a good policy, specially when you're not willing to contribute to
demonstrate your ideas are feasible and just play ping-pong with bug status.

That's perfectly OK to think that, no problem :)

BTW, this is not a forum, if you want to discuss/ask/whatever, please join the
mailing list:

Same to you!
