[bt-devel] development?

[Martin Gruner]

Hello Fred,

sorry I didn't make the point clear enough.
The problem is not the low mail traffic here. The problem is that Joachim is 
still alone with the actual coding -- the development.

I know all of us have very limited time. And BibleTime is definitely not the 
most important thing in our lives, and we have to be careful with the limited 
time that God our lord gives us! But that is a big challenge for the whole 
project. It cannot be that the main work lies on the shoulders of only one 
person, because his time is limited too and will be more limited in future.
Nobody says that people like you who are already investing their time and 
helping out a lot should start coding. I really appreciate what you are 
doing, please don't feel you should change anything.

But I am not happy with the fact that several people showed their interest in 
the deveopment and even took over tasks, and nothing happened. No problem if 
something hinders them, but then I expect a feedback saying "Sorry, I won't 
have time to work on this" or "Please don't count on me any more".
My wish is that we start working together with responsibility, reliability 
and good flow of communication. Otherwise the BibleTime project might soon 
face a dead end, seriously.

I am not sure about this. Joachim told me he is planning a 1.0.2 bugfix & new 
translation release.

Mine too.
