Hi Rich,

I am following this discussion with great interest and one of your  
points struck my attention:

Could you elaborate on this a bit? What do you mean by it's hard to  
tell who is working for itemis? To my knowledge, you should be able to  
use the dashboard queries to find out who is working on which  
components. We're trying our best to be transparent (e.g. by having  
our project plan on the wiki, blogging about our work, doing  
screencasts from time to time, talking to people on conferences,  
giving sessions on the stuff we're working on (e.g. at the Eclipse  
Summit 08), participating in the conference calls). However, if you do  
feel that we're not transparent enough, please let us know what  
exactly you a re missing. After all, we can only improve if we know  
what is missing.

Best,
Peter
