[QUOTE="jawbroken, post: 83622, member: 14372"] I don't know if you have ever developed software wewe, but if you have you will understand that, even in a professional environment with a clear specification and a development team that ISN'T so geographically distributed, software is very difficult to timetable. When you have a project like MediaPortal, with part-time developers spread across the world, it becomes an order of magnitude harder. Software development/engineering is one of the most complicated things done by man (not an overstatement) and that is why even the leaders of the industry have trouble getting it done right and on time. I know you find it frustrating, but that is just a fact. Software development is difficult and notoriously hard to predict. Even if they don't mean to, it sounds ungrateful when people constantly push for a date, or for their issues to be solved first, etc. As said above, people contribute their time to open source software for fun. Asking them to lock down to some sort of schedule or to constantly answer questions about when xxx or yyy will be done in the forums can really make developing a chore. Hope you understand. [/QUOTE]
