I've had my say and don't particularly want to pick up on specific
points of detail. But a couple of additonal comments.

It has been an interesting discussion, but very much on a general
level. I was hoping to get a bit more down and dirty: I suppose what I
was saying at its crudest was, are there any RO developers out there
for hire and interested in doing some of the things users most want
(most notably a new build of FF2 with additional functionality!) ...
Perhaps not any more - or perhaps they don't believe it is possible
put together a workable project with user support.

But picking up from what Theo has said about using the Wiki - is it
possible to extend that to development, so that for instance
developers could put up what their current projects are and what they
might be interested in ... and users could (hopefully sensibly)
register their willingness to support development in financial or
other terms. Maybe more communication via a central clearing house
like that could foster some worthwhile collaborations and help speed
up some developments.

Just a thought.
