Phil and whoever else is still listening,

I see two problems in the development process on this
project. One is that the "core" team rarely
communicates, and when they do, it is often to tell
the person requesting information to leave them alone.
Mark seemed, at one time, to want this to be an open,
evolving project:

"Now is probably as good a time as any to get started
on developing Y. Come and join me!" - y-windows.org
front page

That attitude seems to have died off somewhere.

The second is the apparent lack of interest from the
"core" team. The latest patch I can find in Mark's
archive in was from July. And Phil's email seems to
indicate that that won't change for a while.

This insular, non-communicative process has
effectively made Y a toy for Mark and his friends, and
no one else. Which is fine, if that is what Mark wants
it to be. It is his project, after all, not ours. If
the situation bothers you(you being someone other than
Mark & Co.), fork it.
