... leaving out most of the things you mentioned - this was discussed a _lot_ in the users list (just check the archives).

If you take a _close_ look at OpenSource projects you'll realize that most of the successful projects are driven by a very small set of developers. OGo is no different in that. Eg I would be surprised if the Linux kernel has a much higher developer/codeline ratio. You also need to take into account that groupware servers are used/required by much less people than say a kernel or a text processor. So if you expect that a GW attracts as much as a momentum as for example Apache or Linux, this is unrealistic ;-) Anyway, if you assume that OGo is not interested in patches contributed by other people, this is completely wrong (and proven different in practice). My initial statement was focused on the development of the software itself, yet this is only half of the work, making a good _product_ involves a _lot_ more, and this is where OpenSource excels.
